摘要
Satellite altimetry is one of the crucial techniques for the recovery of marine gravity anomalies. The along-track altimeter data is commonly used, while the cross-track data from conventional altimetry missions is not used to recover marine gravity anomalies due to the long time intervals or sparse ground-track spacing, which limits the improvement of the gravity anomaly model. The ICESat-2 laser altimetry mission operates with three pairs of laser beams, each pair separated by 3 km, which provides the possibility of using the cross-track altimeter data. The cross-track data processing method is presented and global marine gravity anomaly models (named IS2Gra_alo and IS2Gra_alo_acr) are recovered from the along-track altimeter data and the combination of along-track and cross-track altimeter data, respectively. The root mean square (RMS) of the difference between IS2Gra_alo_acr and global shipborne gravity is 5.54 mGal, which is 0.16 mGal better than that of IS2Gra_alo. According to the difference between ICESat-2 gravity models and released global gravity anomaly models, the RMS derived by IS2Gra alo acr is at least 0.10 mGal better than that of IS2Gra alo. The above results confirm that the accuracy of the gravity model recovered from along-track data is improved by incorporating cross-track data, and the ICESat-2 altimeter data is reliable for the recovery of global marine gravity anomalies. Additionally, the combination of different cross-track and along-track altimeter data is discussed for the accuracy of the gravity model recovered from ICESat-2. The accuracy of the gravity model is able to be improved by incorporating the appropriate cross-track altimeter data with the along-track altimeter data. This research provides a reference for the recovery of marine gravity anomalies from the future altimeter data of the SWOT altimetry mission and the two-satellite tandem mode altimetry of China. © 2024 SinoMaps Press.
