Crustal Thickness of Chinese Mainland Inversed by GOCE Satellite Gravity Data

Abstract:

GOCE satellite gravity data is often used to compute gravity anomaly and geoid height. In the paper, GOCE gravity data is used to inverse the crustal thickness of Chinese mainland (E70°~130°, N20°~50°) in this paper. In order to test the reliability of the result, the computing result is compared with previous studies. The comparative analysis shows that the inversion result by GOCE gravity data has higher resolution and has good consistence with the previous studies.
