  4. Introductory remarks • Temporal variations of the gravity field exist in the local inertial space around the Earth • Gradiometry – the differential measurement of the gravitational acceleration • GNSS – the most precise tool for position measurements in space and time • Is it possible to combine Gradiometry + GNNS for the determination of cg?

  5. Gravity field of the Earth EIGEN-GRACE02S 150 × 150 from GRACE mission

  6. Expression for the vertical component of the gradient Trr Eötvös unit of the gravity acceleration gradient 1 EU = 10-9 m s-2 / m

  7. Gradient Trr profiles along equator, model n,m = 250

  8. Gradient Trrevolution with height from 200 km to 1000 km, model n,m = 250

  9. Upward continuation procedure

  10. Lense-Thirring precession 0.042”/y

  11. Upward Continuation in ECIR(Earth Centered Inertial Reference Frame) - rate of change ofthe

  12. witht = δTrr = Trr(t2,r1)۞UC –Trr(t1,r2) and cg=(r2 – r1)/Δt orcg =

  13. For GPS-Galileo case • For r2 – r1 ≈ 3000 km and cg=c • Δt ≈0.01 s • ≈0.15 a.s. • ≈18 m for Galileo orbit

  14. Period of the signal ≈ 12 hours and the amplitude 1*10-4 EU. It means that from the bottom to the peak of the signal we have about 6 hours. With the linear approximation we can tell that for 1 s we get the 0.5*10-8 EU change of the gradient. As we are interested in the ±0.001 s accuracy in the determination of the signal arrival time it means that equivalent accuracy in the measurement should be ± 0.5*10-11 EU.

  15. GOCE Mission (ESA) Circular orbit, mean altitude ≈ 250 km, i = 96.50 , launch spring 2008

  16. To accurately measure the Earth's gravity field, the GOCE (Gravity field and steady-state Ocean Circulation Explorer) satellite is equipped with a core instrument called the Electrostatic Gradiometer, which consists of three pairs of identical ultra-sensitive accelerometers, mounted on three mutually orthogonal 'gradiometer arms'.

  17. GOCE gradiometer Length of Baseline for an accelerometer pair: 0.5 m Accelerometer noise:  < 3 mEU = 3 * 10-12 s-2

  18. Experimental activity at IFSI-INAF • Since many years the Experimental Gravitation group (head V. Iafolla) is active in the field of gravitation physics with a number of projects: • Gravimetry • Support to satellite missions • Geophysics • Fundamental physics

  19. ISA (Italian Spring Accelerometer) High sensitivity three axes accelerometer

  20. ISA accelerometer BepiColombo GEOSTAR

  21. STEP accelerometer sensitivity 18-18g ~ to 10-17 m s-2

  22. Expected development in gradiometry • GOCE 10-3 EU • IFSI 10-4 EU • Paik 10-5 EU • STEP 10-8 EU

  23. If we have the accurate theoretical model of the curve that should be fitted by measurements then only one term of the zero order has to be determined. The accuracy of this term is roughly described asM0 = ± σ0/√nwhere σ0is the standard deviation of the measurement and n is the number of measurements.

  24. Supposing that the measurement is done with the frequency 1 Hz, during 24 hours we have 86400 measurements and during 12 days more than one million. With the individual measurement error ±10-8 EU and 12 days measurement interval we can get close to the desired accuracy ± 10-11

  25. Conclusions • It seems that concept for the determina-tion of the velocity of the gravitational signal, using the rotating Earth as the signal generator, and GNNS plus gradio-metry as detector, is realistic, but of course not easy. It should provide the motivation for the development of the gradiometry technology and could widen the spectrum of scientific applications of GNSS.
