Abstract
Besides sea floor topography maps can be estimated by inversion of satellite-based gravity and/or geoid height anomalies, in particular in large oceanic provinces that are uncovered by ship tracks, it has been demonstrated that gravity gradiometry is a powerful technique to retrieve more details of regional bathymetry as gravity tensor is composed by the high frequency of the gravity field. Inversion of vertical gravity gradient data derived from the radar altimetry technique offers the possibility to reach greater resolutions (< 10 km). We propose an efficient approach based on Kalman filter to restore seafloor shape as well as lithospheric parameters, e.g. the crust and elastic thicknesses, for combining different types of geophysical information including mainly GG data. For validation, our estimated maps of bathymetry are confronted to existing data sets in areas well-covered by observation surveys.
