AbstractOcean tide loading (OTL) displacements are sensitive to the shallow structure of the solid Earth; hence, the high-resolution spatial pattern of OTL displacement can provide knowledge to constrain the shallow Earth structure, especially in coastal areas. In this study, we investigate the sensitivity of the modeled M2 OTL displacement over Taiwan Island to perturbations of three physical quantities, namely, the density, bulk modulus, and shear modulus in the upper mantle and crust. Then, we compare the sensitivity of the modeled M2 OTL displacement to Earth models with the sensitivity to ocean tide models using root mean square (RMS) differences. We compute the displacement Green’s function and OTL displacement relative to the center of mass of the solid Earth (CE) reference frame, analyze the sensitivity to the three physical quantities in the CRUST1.0 model and the Preliminary Reference Earth Model (PREM), and present their spatial patterns. We find that displacement Green’s functions and OTL displacements are more sensitive to the two elastic moduli than the density in the upper mantle and crust. Moreover, their distinctive sensitivity patterns suggest that the three physical quantities might be constrained independently. The specific relationships between the perturbed structural depths and the distance ranges of peak sensitivities from the observation points to the coastline revealed by the shear modulus can mitigate the nonuniqueness problem in inversion. In particular, the horizontal tidal components observed by the Global Positioning System (GPS) can yield better results in inversions than the vertical component owing to the smaller OTL model errors and the higher structural sensitivity (except for the shear modulus in the asthenosphere).

Abstract. Anelasticity may decrease the shear modulus of the asthenosphere by 8 %–10 % at semidiurnal tidal periods compared with the reference 1 s period of seismological Earth models. We show that such anelastic effects are likely to be significant for ocean tide loading displacement at the M2 tidal period around the East China Sea. By comparison with tide gauge observations, we establish that from nine selected ocean tide models (DTU10, EOT11a, FES2014b, GOT4.10c, HAMTIDE11a, NAO99b, NAO99Jb, OSU12, and TPXO9-Atlas), the regional model NAO99Jb is the most accurate in this region and that related errors in the predicted M2 vertical ocean tide loading displacements will be 0.2–0.5 mm. In contrast, GPS observations on the Ryukyu Islands (Japan), with an uncertainty of 0.2–0.3 mm, show 90th-percentile discrepancies of 1.3 mm with respect to ocean tide loading displacements predicted using the purely elastic radial Preliminary Reference Earth Model (PREM). We show that the use of an anelastic PREM-based Earth model reduces these 90th-percentile discrepancies to 0.9 mm. Use of an anelastic radial Earth model consisting of a regional average of the laterally varying S362ANI model reduces the 90th-percentile to 0.7 mm, which is of the same order as the sum of the remaining errors due to uncertainties in the ocean tide model and the GPS observations.

AbstractThe Norwegian Mapping Authority (NMA) has recently established a new gravity laboratory in Ny-Ålesund at Svalbard, Norway. The laboratory consists of three independent pillars and is part of the geodetic core station that is presently under construction at Brandal, approximately 1.5 km north of NMA’s old station. In anticipation of future use of the new gravity laboratory, we present benchmark gravity values, gravity gradients, and final coordinates of all new pillars. Test measurements indicate a higher noise level at Brandal compared to the old station. The increased noise level is attributed to higher sensitivity to wind.We have also investigated possible consequences of moving to Brandal when it comes to the gravitational signal of present-day ice mass changes and ocean tide loading. Plausible models representing ice mass changes at the Svalbard archipelago indicate that the gravitational signal at Brandal may differ from that at the old site with a size detectable with modern gravimeters. Users of gravity data from Ny-Ålesund should, therefore, be cautious if future observations from the new observatory are used to extend the existing gravity record. Due to its lower elevation, Brandal is significantly less sensitive to gravitational ocean tide loading. In the future, Brandal will be the prime site for gravimetry in Ny-Ålesund. This ensures gravity measurements collocated with space geodetic techniques like VLBI, SLR, and GNSS.

Ocean Tide Models

<p>Solid Earth is affected by tidal cycles triggered by the gravity attraction of the celestial bodies. However, about 70% the Earth is covered with seawater which is also affected by the tidal forces. In the coastal areas, the ocean tide loading (OTL) can reach up to 10% of the earth tide, 90% for tilt, and 25% for strain (Farrell, 1972). Since 2007, a high-precision continuous gravity observation network in China has been established with 78 stations. The long-term high-precision tidal data of the network can be used to validate, verifying and even improve the ocean tide model (OTM).</p><p>In this paper, tidal parameters of each station were extracted using the harmonic analysis method after a careful editing of the data. 8 OTMs were used for calculating the OTL. The results show that the Root-Mean-Square of the tidal residuals (M<sub>0</sub>) vary between 0.078-1.77 μgal, and the average errors as function of the distance from the sea for near(0-60km), middle(60-1000km) and far(>1000km) stations are 0.76, 0.30 and 0.21 μgal. The total final gravity residuals (Tx) of the 8 major constituents (M<sub>2</sub>, S<sub>2</sub>, N<sub>2</sub>, K<sub>2</sub>, K<sub>1</sub>, O<sub>1</sub>, P<sub>1</sub>, Q<sub>1</sub>) for the best OTM has amplitude ranging from 0.14 to 3.45 μgal. The average efficiency for O<sub>1</sub> is 77.0%, while 73.1%, 59.6% and 62.6% for K<sub>1</sub>, M<sub>2</sub> and Tx. FES2014b provides the best corrections for O<sub>1</sub> at 12 stations, while SCHW provides the best for K<sub>1 </sub><sub>,</sub>M<sub>2</sub>and Tx at 12,8and 9 stations. For the 11 costal stations, there is not an obvious best OTM. The models of DTU10, EOT11a and TPXO8 look a litter better than FES2014b, HAMTIDE and SCHW. For the 17 middle distance stations, SCHW is the best OTM obviously. For the 7 far distance stations, FES2014b and SCHW model are the best models. But the correction efficiency is worse than the near and middle stations’.</p><p>The outcome is mixed: none of the recent OTMs performs the best for all tidal waves at all stations. Surprisingly, the Schwiderski’s model although is 40 years old with a coarse resolution of 1° x 1° is performing relative well with respect to the more recent OTM. Similar results are obtained in Southeast Asia (Francis and van Dam, 2014). It could be due to systematic errors in the surroundings seas affecting all the ocean tides models. It's difficult to detect, but invert the gravity attraction and loading effect to map the ocean tides in the vicinity of China would be one way.</p>
