Comparison of surface and shipborne gravity data with satellite-altimeter gravity data in Hudson Bay

Several free satellite-altimetry models in the public domain may be used to study the Earth's gravity field. In this study, we compare the Bouguer anomaly map of the Hudson Bay region calculated from the satellite-derived V18 model of D. Sandwell (Scripps Institution of Oceanography) and W. Smith (National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration) with one compiled from measurements (GSC data set) made on the ice shelf and by ship. Noise exists …
