Abstract

Abstract: The theory and methods of the determination of an ultra-high gravity field model by combination of satellite observation data and gravity anomaly data are studied.And an ultra-high gravity field model named SGG-UGM-1 is computed using EGM2008 derived gravity anomaly and GOCE observation data.The block-diagonal least squares (BDLS) method for quickly estimating an ultra-high gravity field model is researched and the corresponding software module is validated by numerical experiments.OpenMP technique is introduced into the BDLS program,which improves computing efficiency dramatically.An ultra-high gravity model SGG-UGM-1 complete to degree and order 2159 is derived using the proposed calculation strategies.The fully occupied normal equation system up to degree and order 220 formed by GOCE satellite data and the block-diagonal normal equation system up to degree and order 2159 formed by EGM2008 gravity anomaly data are used for the combination.Comparison among the models SGG-UGM-1 and EGM2008,EIGEN-6C2,EIGEN-6C4,GOSG-EGM in frequency domain has been done,which shows that SGG-UGM-1 is close to the reference models and that the coefficients lower than degree 220 of SGG-UGM-1 are more accurate than that of EGM2008.The models are also validated by GPS-leveling data in China and America and airborne gravity data in Maowusu surveying area.The results show that in China the accuracy level of SGG-UGM-1 derived geoid is between EIGEN-6C2 and EIGEN-6C4,and better than GOSG-EGM and EGM2008,while in America they are almost the same.In Maowusu area the accuracy level of SGG-UGM-1 derived gravity disturbance is almost at the same accuracy level with EGM2008 and EIGEN-6C4 and better than GOSG-EGM and EIGEN-6C2.
