Abstract

GOCE satellite gravity gradiometry (SGG) data are strongly autocorrelated within the various tensor components. Consideration of these correlations in the least-squares adjustment for gravity field determination can be carried out by digital decorrelation filters. Due to the complexity of the correlation pattern the used decorrelation filters consist of a cascade of individual filters. In this contribution some of the properties of these filters and their application to GOCE SGG data decorrelation will be presented.
