Abstract: | The Fast Fourier Transformation (FFT) has become a routine mathematical tool for the refinement of the Earth's gravity field, such as the computation of precise gravimetric geoid and terrain corrections, particularly over a large area. This paper presents ideas and methodologies to evaluate the accuracy of geoid undulation computations using FFT. A global geopotential model is used as a ‘ground truth’ gravity field model to assess the geoid determination precision by using FFT technique. It is demonstrated that special considerations must be given for a high precision FFT gravimetric geoid determination. A maximum of a few decimetres error could be introduced by the FFT algorithm if the gravity anomalies are not long wavelength filtered and/or no zero padding is applied. |
