Determination of the Geoid Heights of Awka and Environ from the Satellite Altimetry data using Broadview RADAR Altimeter Toolbox (BRAT) and Sentinel-3 Missions

Résumé

Satellite altimetry has revolutionized our ability to measure Earth's surface with unprecedented accuracy, offering invaluable insights into various geophysical phenomena. This study presents the determination of geoid heights (Ns) of Awka and Environ utilizing the Broadview RADAR Altimeter Toolbox (BRAT) in conjunction with data from the Sentinel-3 missions. The geoid, a surface of constant gravitational potential representing mean sea level, is a fundamental reference surface for geodetic measurements and understanding Earth's gravity field. The methodology involves processing raw altimetry data acquired by the Sentinel-3 missions using BRAT, followed by precise corrections for various factors affecting the altimeter measurements, such as atmospheric delays, sea state bias, and orbit errors. Subsequently, the derived SSH data are combined with precise geoid models to compute the geoid heights at different spatial resolutions. The results demonstrate the effectiveness of the approach in determining geoid height (N) with high precision and spatial resolution, offering valuable contributions to geodetic research and applications. The utilization of Sentinel-3 data combined with BRAT facilitates robust and accurate geoid determination, which is essential for a wide range of geospatial applications, including oceanography, geophysics, and climate studies. The integration of BRAT and Sentinel-3 missions offers a powerful tool for geodetic research and applications, contributing to our understanding of Earth's dynamic processes and improving the accuracy of geospatial measurements.
