Abstract

AbstractA multiresolution wavelet analysis of gravity datasets obtained from satellite, airborne, and terrestrial platforms was conducted to estimate their spectral differences and develop a fused free-air gravity model. In this study, fifth-generation Gravity field and steady-state Ocean Circulation Explorer (GOCE) satellite model (DIRR5 and TIMR5), airborne, and terrestrial gravity data were compared to estimate their differences within various spectral bands using wavelet decomposition. The datasets were combined in a two-dimensional approximation while taking into account their strongest spectral content to derive a fused gravity model that shows improved long and medium wavelengths over those of the original terrestrial gravity dataset. The studies were focused on two distinct areas, namely, the relatively smooth gravity field along the coast of the southeastern United States and the northern Gulf of Mexico and the highly variable gravity field of eastern Alaska. Results show that changes brought by ...
