Evaluation of Marine Gravity Anomaly Calculation Accuracy by Multi-Source Satellite Altimetry Data

The purpose of this paper is to analyze the influence of satellite altimetry data accuracy on the marine gravity anomaly accuracy. The data of 12 altimetry satellites in the research area (5°N–23°N, 105°E–118°E) were selected. These data were classified into three groups: A, B, and C, according to t...
