Gravity field determination using boundary element methods

The Boundary Element Method (BEM), a numerical technique for solving boundary integral equations, is introduced to determine the earth's gravity field. After a short survey on its main principles, we apply this method to the fixed gravimetric boundary value problem (BVP), i.e. the determination of the earth's gravitational potential from measurements of the intensity of the gravity field in points on the earth's surface. We show how to linearize this nonlinear BVP using an implicit function theorem and how to transform the linearized BVP into a boundary integral equation using the single layer representation. A Galerkin method is used to transform the boundary integral equation using the single layer representation. A Galerkin method is used to transform the boundary integral equation into a linear system of equations. We discuss the major problems of this approach for setting up and solving the linear system. The BVP is numerically solved for a bounded part of the earth's surface using a high resolution reference gravity model, measured gravity values of high density, and a 50 50 m² digital terrain model to describe the earth's surface. We obtain a gravity field resolution of 1 1 km² with an accuracy of the order 10^–3 to 10^–4 in about 1 CPU-hour on a Siemens/Fujitsu SIMD vector pipeline machine using highly sophisticated numerical integration techniques and fast equation solvers. We conclude that BEM is a powerful numerical tool for solving boundary value problems and may be an alternative to classical geodetic techniques.     

Die Schwerewirkungen eines elliptischen Zylindersegmentes

Summary A method has been derived for computing the gravity effect of a segment of an infinite homogeneous elliptical cylinder. The initial data was represented by formulae expressing the components of the field of gravity of a homogeneous two-dimensional body by means of line integrals. The method is based on the integration of theln R function over the boundary of the cross-section of the attracting body, R being the distance from a fixed point in which the gravity effect is determined. The problem was solved in confocal co-ordinates.     

Gravity and magnetic field interpretation based on transformations of horizontal gradients in the VECTOR system

A method of potential field processing based on the transformation of vectors of the total horizontal gradient in windows of various sizes is considered. The gradients are calculated at the centers of triangles, whose vertices are points of observations, as a rule, of gravity and magnetic fields. Averaging of horizontal gradients of the field rather than initial values of the field is the main distinction of this approach from the known methods. This procedure, referred to in this paper as vector scanning of the field, makes it possible to obtain layer distributions of field sources in a 3-D diagram that is a quasi-density model of the study medium within the framework of certain model concepts. The paper presents a model example demonstrating the possibility of separating the fields produced by two sources located on a vertical line and an example illustrating the application of this method to the interpretation of the gravity field in the zone of the geodynamic influence of the Urals.

Generalized polarization relationships for acoustic gravity waves in the nonisothermal atmosphere with the wind

The nonlinear equation of the first order of the Riccati type has been obtained for the wave impedance of acoustic gravity waves in the nonisothermal atmosphere. The vertically nonuniform horizontal wind and the effect of viscosity on the horizontal components of the velocity field have been taken into account in the calculations. The boundary-value problem for the Riccati equation is defined by the boundary emission condition at high altitudes. Upon finding the wave impedance along with the generalized polarization relationship, all remaining disturbances of the atmospheric parameters related to acoustic gravity waves are found with the help of a simple integration. The results of using a developed formalism are illustrated by the numerical computation of acoustic gravity wave fields in the atmosphere with real vertical profiles of temperature and horizontal field velocity.

Direct BEM for high-resolution global gravity field modelling

The paper presents a high-resolution global gravity field modelling by the boundary element method (BEM). A direct BEM formulation for the Laplace equation is applied to get a numerical solution of the linearized fixed gravimetric boundary-value problem. The numerical scheme uses the collocation method with linear basis functions. It involves a discretization of the complicated Earth’s surface, which is considered as a fixed boundary. Here 3D positions of collocation points are simulated from the DNSC08 mean sea surface at oceans and from the SRTM30PLUS_V5.0 global topography model added to EGM96 on lands. High-performance computations together with an elimination of the far zones’ interactions allow a very refined integration over the all Earth’s surface with a resolution up to 0.1 deg. Inaccuracy of the approximate coarse solutions used for the elimination of the far zones’ interactions leads to a long-wavelength error surface included in the obtained numerical solution. This paper introduces an iterative procedure how to reduce such long-wavelength error surface. Surface gravity disturbances as oblique derivative boundary conditions are generated from the EGM2008 geopotential model. Numerical experiments demonstrate how the iterative procedure tends to the final numerical solutions that are converging to EGM2008. Finally the input surface gravity disturbances at oceans are replaced by real data obtained from the DNSC08 altimetryderived gravity data. The ITG-GRACE03S satellite geopotential model up to degree 180 is used to eliminate far zones’ interactions. The final high-resolution global gravity field model with the resolution 0.1 deg is compared with EGM2008.

A refined method of recovering potential coefficients from surface gravity data

Summary A new method for computing the potential coefficients of the Earth's external gravity field is presented. The gravimetric boundary-value problem with a free boundary is reduced to the problem with a fixed known telluroid. The main idea of the derivation consists in a continuation of the quantities from the physical surface to the telluroid by means of Taylor's series expansion in such a way that the terms whose magnitudes are comparable with the accuracy of today's gravity measurements are retained. Thus not only linear, but also non-linear terms are taken into account. Explicitly, the terms up to the order of the third power of the Earth's flattening are retained. The non-linear boundary-value problem on the telluroid is solved by an iteration procedure with successive approximations. In each iteration step the solution of the non-linear problem is estimated by the solutions of two linear problems utilizing the fact that the non-linear boundary condition may be split into two parts; the linear spherical approximation of the gravity anomaly whose magnitude is significantly greater than the others and the non-linear ellipsoidal corrections. Finally, in order to solve the problem in terms of spherical harmonics, the transform method composed of the fast Fourier transform and Gauss Legendre quadrature is theoretically outlined. Immediate data processing of gravity data measured on the physical Earth's surface without any continuation of gravity measurements to a reference level surface belongs to the main advantage of the presented method. This implies that no preliminary data handling is needed and that the error data propagation is, consequently, maximally suppressed.     

THE COLLOCATION APPROACH TO THE INVERSION OF GRAVITY DATA1

Gravity data inversion can provide valuable information on the structure of the underlying distribution of mass. The solution of the inversion of gravity data is an ill-posed problem, and many methods have been proposed for solving it using various systematic techniques. The method proposed here is a new approach based on the collocation principle, derived from the Wiener filtering and prediction theory. The natural multiplicity of the solution of the inverse gravimetric problem can be overcome only by assuming a substantially simplified model, in this case a two-layer model, i.e. with one separation surface and one density contrast only. The presence of gravity disturbance and/or outliers in the upper layer is also taken into account. The basic idea of the method is to propagate the covariance structure of the depth function of the separation surface to the covariance structure of the gravity field measured on a reference plane. This can be done since the gravity field produced by the layers is a functional (linearized) of the depth. Furthermore, in this approach, it is possible to obtain the variance of the estimation error which indicates the precision of the computed solution. The method has proved to be effective on simulated data, fulfilling the a priori hypotheses. In real cases which display the required statistical homogeneity, good preliminary solutions, useful for a further quantitative interpretation, have also been derived. A case study is discussed.

A Brovar-type solution of the fixed geodetic boundary-value problem

For more than 150 years gravity anomalies have been used for the determination of geoidal heights, height anomalies and the external gravity field. Due to the fact that precise ellipsoidal heights could not be observed directly, traditionally a free geodetic boundary-value problem (GBVP) had to be formulated which after linearisation is related to gravity anomalies. Since nowadays the three-dimensional positions of gravity points can be determined by global navigation satellite systems very precisely, the modern formulation of the GBVP can be based on gravity disturbances which are related to a fixed GBVP using the known topographical surface of the Earth as boundary surface. The paper discusses various approaches into the solution of the fixed GBVP which after linearization corresponds to an oblique-derivative boundary-value problem for the Laplace equation. Among the analytical solution approaches a Brovar-type solution is worked out in detail, showing many similarities with respect to the classical solution of the scalar free GBVP.     

Surface deformation, gravity and the geoid from a three-dimensional convection model at low Rayleigh numbers

The two-dimensional surface deformation, gravity field and geoid are calculated from the temperature fields of a number of numerical models of constant viscosity three-dimensional convective flows, heated from within and from below, using the appropriate Green's functions. The admittance is positive, with positive gravity anomalies above hot rising regions, except for large aspect ratio circulations with undeformable lower boundaries. The surface deformation and the geoid are insensitive to the short wavelength features of the temperature variation. The gravity field is less smooth, though still does not clearly indicate the narrowness of the upwelling and downwelling regions at large Rayleigh numbers. When the lower boundary of the convecting region is deformable, the gravity field is dominated by lateral temperature variations within the upper thermal boundary layer, even when their contribution to the overall circulation is small. The variation of surface deformation with Rayleigh number agrees well with that expected from simple boundary layer arguments when the circulation is driven by heating from below, but less well when the heating is internal. These results suggest that the convective upwelling beneath regions showing positive geoid and residual depth anomalies is more localized than the horizontal extent of these features would suggest.     

Nonhydrostatic Atmospheric Normal Modes on Beta-Planes

--To facilitate the understanding of nonhydrostatic effect in global and regional nonhydrostatic models, the normal modes of a nonhydrostatic, stratified, and compressible atmosphere are studied using Cartesian coordinates on midlatitude and equatorial #-planes. The dynamical equations without forcing and dissipation are linearized around the basic state at rest, and solved by using the method of separation of variables. An eigenvalue-eigenfunction problem is formulated, consisting of the horizontal and vertical structure equations with suitable boundary conditions. The wave frequency and the separation parameter, referred to as "equivalent height," appear in both the horizontal and vertical characteristic equations as a coupled problem, unlike the hydrostatic case. Therefore, the nonhydrostatic equivalent height depends not only on the vertical modal scale, as in the hydrostatic case, but also on the zonal and meridional modal scales. Numerical resu lts on the dispersion relations are presented for an isothermal atmosphere. Three kinds of normal modes, namely acoustic, gravity, and Rossby modes, are solved and compared with the corresponding global solutions. Nonhydrostatic effects are studied in terms of normal modes in a wide range of wavelengths from small to planetary scales. It is demonstrated that Rossby modes are hardly affected by nonhydrostatic effects regardless of wavelengths. However, nonhydrostatic effects on gravity modes become significant for smaller horizontal and deeper vertical scales of motion. The equivalent height plays a particularly important role in evaluating nonhydrostatic effects of normal modes on the equatorial #-plane, because the equivalent height appears in the scaling of meridional distance variable of the eigenfunctions. The implementation of nonhydrostatic normal mode analysis on high-resolution numerical modeling is also discussed.
