Objectives and scope.

  • Propose and develop an approach to estimate a consistent

DT at tide gauges, coastal areas, and open ocean

  • Determine a consistent MDT using GOCE with consistent

error covariance fields.

  • Connect measurements of a global set of tide gauges and

investigate trends

  • Develop and outlook how the approach could be further

improved using improved coastal altimetry.

  • Validate the approach in well-surveyed areas where DT

can be determined at tide gauges

Software Architecture for creating coastal MDT

GOCE++DYCOT Coastal MDT Software Toolbox.

  • Written in R.
  • Command line interface.
  • Allow filtering combining different MSS + GOCE geoids
  • Allos integration of MDT with TG,
  • Error estimation.

MDT Error estimate

A new bootstrap approach is used The selected region is divided into blocks Sample with replacement between the different blocks count the number of repetitions per block Use the iterative average filter function

Integration with Tide gauges

  • Setteled for a fixed period (2003-2007) where ocean/altim MDT

and TG are processed consistenly.

  • IB correction must me accounted for.
  • Tide System convertion must me accounted for.
  • System is sensitive to the value on land

GOCE++ SW accounts for this

Summary

  • GOCE ++ DYCOT results are appearing on gocedt.eu and paper is

in preparation.

  • MDT evaluation with Tide Gauges is promising for ”geodetic

approach”, and in general agreement on the 5-10 cm is found.

  • GOCE++DYCOT has developed an approach to estimate a

consistent DT at tide gauges, coastal areas, and open ocean

  • An approach to determine error estimates on MDT is being tested
  • Connect measurements of a global set of SONEL tide gauges

performed and trends are now available.

  • More to follow.
  • Develop and outlook how the approach could be further improved

using improved coastal altimetry.
