Open publisher page 4 citations

Abstract

Satellite-altimetry data have previously been used to generate gravity data sets for areas of open sea and oceans, but a similar approach can be used to generate gravity data over inland lakes. We have used a technically innovative method to create new gravity data sets for 20 lakes around the globe (Figure 1). The raw data were obtained from the latest measurements collected by the CryoSat-2 and Jason-1 satellites, and were then combined with previously acquired Geosat data.
