Abstract
In 2017 and 2018 GFZ performed two gravimetry campaigns on commercial ferries in the Baltic Sea. The nature of such “non-dedicated” campaigns is different from “dedicated” campaigns that are performed on research vessels with tracks planned according to gravity measurement needs. The non-dedicated campaigns use non-survey vessels or survey vessels running for other purposes such as hydrographic measurements, which may require additional corrections. To assess the usefulness of non-dedicated campaigns, we analysed gravity measurements collected on two commercial ferries as part of the EU funded FAMOS project. Besides the typical marine gravimetry corrections, we also investigated the corrections for the vertical accelerations due to the ship’s movement and the dynamical effect due to the cross-coupling between horizontal and vertical acceleration components. Taking the latter two corrections into account partly leads to slight improvements, but our results also demonstrate that the standard processing without the two corrections, as used in most of the dedicated campaigns, already delivers good quality end products that fulfil the requirements of a typical marine gravimetry survey with an uncertainty of about 1 mGal. Our findings suggest that gravimetry campaigns on commercial ferries can be used to complement dedicated marine gravimetry campaigns and contribute to geodetic purposes.
