Gravity Lidar Study for 2006 (GLS06)• AOI: Northern Gulf of Mexico (FL-AL-MS shoreline)• Equipment: NRL’s LaCoste-Romberg Air-Sea II,
NASA’s LVIS, and NOAA Citation II• Flights at 10 km elevation and spacing• To ensure seamless and consistent coverage
across the sea-shore boundary• To reduce geoid uncertainties and better tie in to
MSL based on lidar observations• VDatum model area: tidal and dynamic
topography models currently available

Filter Characteristics
• All corrections (GPS, off level, Eotvos, drift, etc) were applied to gravity data – otherwise: unfiltered
• Signal interpolated and provided by NRL• Some problems with initial filters • Settled on moving window filter modified by an elastic
string filter• Trade Off-Diagram:• Best choices
– 90s: first minima– 240s: lowest minima

Future Work• Apply filter during application of corrections (not after!)• Downward continue these data • Check against other surface data • Remove inconsistencies• create a geoid model and compare to previous models• Use new geoid model in conjunction with dynamic topography
model to compare with lidar observations (LVIS)• Establish absolute accuracy of gravimetric geoid in Vdatum
study area and at tidal bench marks• Compare GPS-leveling derived from gravimetric geoid to NAVD
88 heights at tidal bench marks• Compare gravimetric geoid to forthcoming EGM’s• Expand AOI further westward through Louisiana and Texas
