Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the field of gravity field inversion, and in particular to a time-varying gravity field model inversion method, system, electronic equipment and medium. Background Art

[0002] The accuracy of the atmospheric and oceanic de-aliasing model is the primary factor limiting improvements in the accuracy of time-varying gravity fields from gravity satellites. During gravity field inversion, de-aliasing involves using a priori information to construct high-frequency mass variations of the Earth, such as high-frequency non-tidal variations in the atmosphere and ocean, with a temporal resolution less than one day. These high-frequency gravity signals are pre-deducted during the inversion of the monthly average time-varying gravity field to mitigate signal aliasing caused by insufficient sampling rates. According to the Nyquist sampling theorem, signal aliasing occurs when the sampling frequency is less than twice the signal frequency. Therefore, existing gravity field inversion processes contain significant high-frequency components. Therefore, developing a model that suppresses high-frequency mass variation noise during the time-varying gravity field inversion process and improves the accuracy of the inverted time-varying gravity field is of great significance to relevant earth science research, including geodesy, geophysics, geodynamics, and ocean-related sciences, as well as to the development of national defense and military science.
