Impact of GOCE on lithospheric modelling in active plate margins ESA Living Planet Symposium 2013 Edinburgh, 10-09-2013 Michael Hosse(1), Roland Pail(1), Martin Horwath(1), Tetjana Romanyuk(1), Ben Gutknecht(2), Nils Köther(2) (1) Technische Universität München, Institute of Astronomical and Physical Geodesy(2) Christian-Albrechts-Universitaet Kiel, Institute of Geosciences, Department of Geophysics

  2. ESA Living Planet Symposium 2013,Edinburgh, September 09-13 2013 About IMOSAGA • Integrated Modelling of Satellite and Airborne Gravity data of Active plate margins • Part of DFG programme „Mass transport and mass distribution in the Earth system“ SPP 1257 • Tight cooperation and interaction of geodetic and geophysical expert groups

  3. ESA Living Planet Symposium 2013,Edinburgh, September 09-13 2013 Project Objectives • Investigation of active continental margins for • Density distribution in 3D • Dynamic Structures (Finite Elements) • Rigidity • by usage of • Satellite gravimetry and gradiometry (GOCE, GRACE) • Terrestrial gravimetry • Combined gravity models (Least Squares Collocation LSC)

  4. ESA Living Planet Symposium 2013,Edinburgh, September 09-13 2013 Motivation revised gravity field information in geophysically interesting areas impact on static and dynamic lithospheric models (Götze et al., 2011)

  5. ESA Living Planet Symposium 2013,Edinburgh, September 09-13 2013 Datasources – Terrestrial data • ~ 175000 pointmeasurements (gabs, FA, BA) from different sourcescollectedduringthepast 30 years • widelyspreadover South America • Noinformationsavailableaboutusedinstrumentsandmethods • Noaccuraciesavailable

  15. ESA Living Planet Symposium 2013,Edinburgh, September 09-13 2013 Least Squares Collocation (LSC) … signalcovariances, derivedfromcovariancemodelfittedconsistentlyto (reduced) gravitygradientsand (reduced) terr. data … noisecovariances: - terrestrialdata: empirical- satellitegravitydata: covariancepropagation (includingomissionerror !!!) BIG advantage: weobtainerrorestimates:

  16. ESA Living Planet Symposium 2013,Edinburgh, September 09-13 2013 Input data & stochastic models mGal 60 40 20 0 -20 -40 -60 • Satellitedata (reduced): • Synthetizedfrom GOCO03S, on grid • Error information: • - commissionpart: derivedbyfullcovariancepropa-gationfrom GOCO03S variance-covariancematrix • - omissionpart (> d/o 250) : derivedbyvariancepropagationfrom EGM2008 variances mGal 60 40 20 0 -20 -40 -60 • Terrestrial & altimetrydata: • Terrestrialdata: 9910 points, irregularlydistributed • Altimetrydata (DTU10): 2353 points, on grid • Error information: accordingtoqualitycriterion, ~10 mGal (land), ~4-5 mGal (ocean)

  17. ESA Living Planet Symposium 2013,Edinburgh, September 09-13 2013 Results Output field [mGal] Error estimates [mGal] • Larger errors where only satellite data available (mainly omission part!!!) • Realistic error estimates.

  19.

  21. ESA Living Planet Symposium 2013,Edinburgh, September 09-13 2013 Lithosphericmodel (IGMAS+) - Iquique • Only small variations compared to EGM2008 • Lithospheric model could be confirmed

  22. ESA Living Planet Symposium 2013,Edinburgh, September 09-13 2013 Lithospheric model (IGMAS+) - Beule • Beule: low-quality terrestrial gravity data Free-air anomalies Bouguer anomalies IMOSAGA01C EGM2008 IMOSAGA01C EGM2008 difference mGal

  23. ESA Living Planet Symposium 2013,Edinburgh, September 09-13 2013 Lithosphericmodel (IGMAS+) - Beule • Significant deviationto EGM2008 • Updated lithosphericmodelrequired (currentlydone)

  24. ESA Living Planet Symposium 2013,Edinburgh, September 09-13 2013 Lithospheric modelling • In many regions due to lack of terrestrial gravity data up to now no lithospheric profile could be modelled by IGMAS+. • In these regions, now due to GOCE data lithospheric modelling will become possible for the first time!

  25. ESA Living Planet Symposium 2013,Edinburgh, September 09-13 2013 Summary and conclusions • Significant improvementof regionalgravityfieldmodelsthroughcombinationofterrestrialandsatellitedata • Main benefitin areaswithterrestrialdatagaps, but also concerningtheconsistency in thelongtomedium wavelengths • Proofof a clearimpactof GOCE forlithosphericmodelling, especially in topographicallychallangingregions • Methodology also usableforvalidationofinhomogenousgravitydatabases • Establishedprocessingprocedurecanbeappliedworldwide (also withlow-quality terrestrialdata) • Updated lithosphericmodels will beavailablesoon
