Abstract

Gravity anomalies in the Black sea area were determined using satellite altimetry observations of the Sea Surface Heights over this region. The satellite data applied in the analysis include ERS-1, ERS-2, and TOPEX/POSEIDON altimetry from 1992 to 2001. The solutions for gravity anomalies at (3′×3′) grid points are evaluated by the Tikhonov regularization method to provide estimations based on kernel functions, which are described by singular point harmonic functions. Comparison with independent solution KMS01 of the Danish geodetic institute was performed.
