The Results of Integrated Modeling of the Oceanic Gravimetric Effect

Abstract

The implications of a broad range of factors for the intensity of the oceanic gravimetric effect has been estimated. These factors include dissipation, mass correction, the selection of the oceanic tidal model and Earth’s density model, and discarding the near-zone approximation, as well as allowance for the ellipticity of the Earth and the relative, Coriolis, and inertial accelerations. It has been shown that, with the presentday requirements to computational accuracy, the joint effect of these factors, rather than the separate contributions of each individual factor are of primary importance. The load Love numbers are calculated up to degree n = 50000.
