Measurements of time-variable gravity show mass loss in Antarctica.
Using measurements of time-variable gravity from the Gravity Recovery and Climate Experiment satellites, we determined mass variations of the Antarctic ice sheet during 2002-2005. We found that the mass of the ice sheet decreased significantly, at a rate of 152 +/- 80 cubic kilometers of ice per year, which is equivalent to 0.4 +/- 0.2 millimeters of global sea-level rise per year. Most of this...
متن کاملtime-variable gravity determination from the grace gravity solutions filtered by tikhonov regularization in sobolev subspace
the grace mission has provided scientific community time-variable gravity field solutions with high precision and on a global scale. the grace mission was launched on march 2003. this mission consists of two satellites that pursue each other in their orbit. distance between two satellites in orbit is measured continuously to an accuracy of better than 1 micron using kbr system placed in satelli...
متن کاملLocalized spectral analysis of global satellite gravity fields for recovering time-variable mass redistributions
A spatiospectral localization method is discussed for processing the global geopotential coefficients from satellite mission data to investigate time-variable gravity. The time-variable mass variation signal usually appears associated with a particular geographical area yielding inherently regional structure, while the dependence of the satellite gravity errors on a geographical region is not s...
متن کاملMass hierarchy and localization of gravity in extra time ∗
We consider Randall-Sundrum model with localized gravity, replacing the extra compact space-like dimension by a time-like one. In this way the solution to the hierarchy problem can be reconciled with a correct cosmological expansion of the visible universe, just as a trivial result of the sign flip of cosmological constants in the bulk and on the 3-branes relative to the case of extra space-lik...
متن کاملCalibration of the MASS time constant measurements
where C n(h) is the vertical profile of the refractive index structure constant, V (h) is the vertical profile of the modulus of the wind speed. In the following we always assume that τ0 refers to the wavelength λ0 = 0.5 μm. The differential-exposure scintillation index (DESI) is computed for the smallest 2-cm MASS aperture as a differential index between 1 ms and 3 ms exposures. Instead of bin...
