Pourquoi Dit-on que la terre est un géoïde ?
L'une de ces surfaces est choisie comme référence de l'altitude, c'est celle qui coïncide avec le niveau moyen des océans. On l'appelle le géo?.Comment déterminer le géoïde ?
Pour déterminer le géo? continental, il faut connaître l'altitude et la localisation du point de mesure ainsi que la valeur et la direction locales de la gravité. Une fois que l'on connaît la gravité et l'altitude, on peut revenir au potentiel de gravité par une transformation mathématique.Pourquoi le géoïde ?
Le géo? étant une surface équipotentielle de pesanteur particulière, il sert de zéro de référence pour les mesures précises d'altitude.

Gravity 3Gravity as a vector
We can write Newton's law for gravity in a vector
form to account for the magnitude and direction of the gravity eld: ~g=GmEr 2~r where: ~gis the gravitational acceleration mEis the Earth's mass.
ris distance from the center of mass (e.g., the Earth). ~ris a unit vector pointed away from the center of massGis the gravitational constant (m3kg1s2)
In this vector form we can think of gravitational
acceleration in directions other than toward or away from the mass. Note that~ris dened as pointing awayfrom the center of mass and in the direction of increasingr, hence the minus sign which could be ignored when we were only concerned with the magnitude ofg: g=j~gj=GmEr 2 At right the \z" component of gravity is calculated for pointOdue to a mass at pointP.Examples r1~rΘ

g(x)Unlike gravitational acceleration, gravitational potential decreases closer to the surface of the Earth. This means negative work is done by an object falling toward the surface. Positive work is done moving an object away from the surface (it is easier to fall o a cli than to climb up one!). BothUandgconverge to zero at large distances.Gravity is a potential eldThe integral relationship between the vector of gravitational acceleration and the scalar gravitational
potential makes gravity a \potential eld". Gravitational acceleration is the gradient of the potential:

P(x1;z1)O(x0;z0)zxLet's return to the example
using the point massmPat pointP. The scalar gravitational potential at pointOis the work required to move
an object from innity toO.The potential is related to
gravitational acceleration by the integral shown on the previous slide. The next question is: how doesUvary across the area aroundP, in this case in the xzplane? We can think of this as the change ofUin thex orzdirections, that is,@U=@x and@U=@z.Use the chain rule to relate the partial derivative in therdirection to the derivative in thexandzdirections: @U@z =@U@r 1@r 1@z =Gmpr21@r1@z
@r 1@z =12 h (z1z0)2+ (x1x0)2i122(z1z0)
@U@z =GMr21z1z0r
1=GmP(z0z1)r
31Comparing this to the answer from two slides back: @U@z =gz @U@x =gxGravity can vary on an equipotential surface A surface along whichUis constant is an equipotential surface. No work is done against gravity moving on an equipotential surface, but gravity can vary along an equipotential surface because@U@z , wherezis dened as vertical, need not be constant.Gravity 3 Gravity 3Variation in gravity on an equipotential surface
We have already seen that for a \point" mass, or
outside a homogeneous sphere, the potential varies with radial distance only: U=GMR So, @U@z =constant on such an equipotential surface (gravity is constant at a given value ofR). The actual Earth is not homogeneous. Earth has mass anomalies,Uis not constant at a givenR, and@U@z
6=constant,
so gravity varies along an equipotential surface for the Earth.The variation in an equipotential surface for the Earth can be thought of in terms of variation of its height.Since potential energy,U=ghon an equipotential
surface, andUis constant by denition, any change in gravity corresponds to a change in height,h. This change in height of the equipotential surface has to be referenced to something. For Earth, the reference ellipsoid is the best-t ellipsoid to the gure of the Earth at mean sea-level. The geoid is the equipotential surface that varies around this reference ellipsoid. The height of the geoid is the dierence in height, or geoid undulation, from the reference ellipsoid at any given location. The height of the geoid, and the value of gravity on the geoid, varies because the distribution of mass inside the Earth is not uniform. Vertical is dened as normal to the geoid, so the orientation of vertical also varies with respect to the reference ellipsoid. At sea, the surface of the ocean corresponds to the geoid. Changes in mass distribution within the Earth cause changes in the height of the geoid, so there are literally changes in the height of the sea from place-to-place, with respect to the reference ellipsoid. Most satellites orbit on a equipotential surface, so their height (say distance from the surface of the reference ellipsoid) also undulates on an equipotential surface mimicking the shape of the geoid.Gravity 3Gravity 3The geoid
The Earth's geoid as mapped from GRACE data and shown in terms of height above or below the reference
ellipsoid. As time goes on, the geoid has been mapped with greater and greater denition.Gravity 3 Gravity 3What sort of mass distribution causes a change in the Earth's geoid?Examples Consider a geoid anomaly of+50m on the order of 2000km in width. What sort of excess mass mightcause this geoid anomaly? Let's simplify the problem by considering the excess mass to be in the mantle and
of spherical shape. To raise the geoidh= 50m, the gravitational potential on an \undisturbed Earth" at
the surface must equal the potential at+50m once the excess mass is added: GMERE=GMER
E+hGMexcessr
excess+h whereMEis the mass of the Earth,REis the radius of the Earth,Mexcessis the excess mass associatedwith the geoid anomaly,rexcessis the depth to the center of the excess mass, andhis the height of the
geoid anomaly. There is one equation and two unknowns (the excess mass and the depth to the center of the
excess mass). If we assume the depth to the center of excess mass is 1000km, prove to yourself that the
excess mass creating the geoid height anomaly is aboutMexcess= 71018kg. If the excess mass is spherical, then: M excess=43 a3excesswhereais the radius of the spherical excess mass andexcessis its excess density (or density contrast with
the surrounding mantle). Ifa= 5105m thenexcess= 14kg m3. The mantle density on average at 1000km depth is on order of 4000kgm3. Geoid anomalies of ten's of meters height and thousands of
kilometers width seem to be related to very small perturbations in this density, possibly associated with
changes in water content of the mantle, or other geochemical dierences, and temperature.Gravity 3Gravity 3EOMA

the pointP. Assume values for the mass at the point and its depth.3Now consider the same problem in three dimensions, that isr21=x2+y2+z2. Assume that
U= 1=r1, sinceGMis constant. Show that:
r2U=@2U@x

2= 0 This is Laplace's equation. It means that outside the mass, the gravity eld is conserved, so the eld varies in a systematic way. This fact is highly useful for calculating expected anomalies and for ltering gravity maps.Gravity 3quotesdbs_dbs41.pdfusesText_41[PDF] geoide terrestre
