Abstract:
In this study, a thorough validation of the recently released Global Geopotential Models (GGMs) has been carried out by comparing all models with both the free-air (FA) gravity anomaly observations and GPS/Levelling data in Kuwait. First, the gravity functional in terms of FA gravity anomalies and geoid heights that derived from GGMs and compared with the ground-based data before applying the Spectral Enhancement Method (SEM). The findings indicate that the combined GGMs, generally, fit the ground data better than the satellite-only GGMs due to the existing spectral gaps. Second, the FA gravity anomalies and geoid heights, obtained from GGMs at maximum Spherical Harmonics (SH) degree/order (d/o) for the combined models and from spherical harmonics d/o ranging from 100 to their maximum d/o, with a step of 10 d/o for the satellite only GGMs, were compared with the corresponding ones from terrestrial data using the SEM. For the FA gravity signal, the EIGEN-6C4 manifested the best results of combined GGMs with differences characterised with a mean of 0.967 mGal and a Standard Deviation (STD) of 2.845 mGal, while TIM_R5 at SH (d/o) 200 showed the best results with a mean of satellite only GGMs with a mean if 1.008 mGal and a STD of 2.657 mGal. In the case of the evaluation of the geoidal height with GPS/levelling, XGM2016 manifested the best results of combined GGMs with differences characterised with a STD of 0.234 m. For the satellite only GGMs, the best results have been obtained from SPW_R5 at SH d/o 250 with a STD 0.207 m.
