Development of an Airborne Geoid Mapping System for Coastal Oceanography (AGMASCO)

  • Conference paper

Part of the book series: International Association of Geodesy Symposia ((IAG SYMPOSIA,volume 117))

Abstract

In the AGMASCO project an airborne geoid mapping system will be developed, based on a field demonstration and implementation of an operational airborne gravity system, combined with airborne laser and radar altimetry. The system will be designed especially for regional, near-coastal sea-surface topography determination, bridging the gap between land areas and the open ocean. In this paper we will describe the basic system concept, as well as give very preliminary results of the first field experiment in Skagerrak, September 1996.
