Description for Future Satellite Gravimetry and Earth Dynamics
Hardback. New and more accurate techniques for satellite gravimetry will be available soon, with promising applications in Earth sciences. This title stimulates discussion among Earth scientists on objectives and preferences for future satellite gravimetry missions. Editor(s): Flury, Jakob (TU Munchen, Germany); Rummel, Reiner (TU Munchen, Germany). Num Pages: 170 pages, biography. BIC Classification: RGV. Category: (P) Professional & Vocational. Dimension: 241 x 157 x 18. Weight in Grams: 426.
Currently, a first generation of dedicated satellite missions for the precise mapping of the Earth’s gravity field is in orbit (CHAMP, GRACE, and soon GOCE). The gravity data from these satellite missions provide us with very new information on the dynamics of planet Earth. In particular, on the mass distribution in the Earth’s interior, the entire water cycle (ocean circulation, ice mass balance, continental water masses, and atmosphere), and on changes in the mass distribution.
The results are fascinating, but still rough with respect to spatial and temporal resolution. Technical progress in satellite-to-satellite tracking and in gravity gradiometry will ... Read more
