Abstract

In this paper, we calculated multi-scale residual geoid anomalies with the method of geoid separation processing, according to EGM2008 ultra-high order gravity field model, remove-restore technique and Stokes integral. The East Asian continental margin was selected as the study area. The residual geoid anomalies have been calculated by programming. On the basis of residual geoid anomalies at various orders, the interlayer geoid anomalies at different depths were calculated to depict the spatial distribution characteristics of the residual geoid. Finally, we conducted a detailed geophysical interpretation for the study area according to the geoid anomalies in combination with other geophysical datasets. Four conclusions can be outlined as follows: 1) it is impracticable that geoid anomalies are used in the interpretation of the shallow objects due to the influence of the terrain; 2) the anomalies of residual geoid can reflect the intensity of small-scale mantle convection in the asthenosphere; 3) the interlayer geoid anomalies can reflect the magmatic activities associated with the mantle convection and mantle plume in different scales; 4) the study of the geoid may provide an approach for the research of the subduction zone, mantle convection and mantle plume.
