Description:
We present a regional geoid model for the area of Lake Vostok, Antarctica, from a combination of local airborne gravity,
ice-surface and ice-thickness data and a lake bathymetry model. The topography data are used for residual terrain modelling
(RTM) in a remove-compute-restore approach together with the GOCE satellite model GOCO03S. The disturbing potential at the Earth's
surface, i.e. the quasigeoid, is predicted by least-squares collocation (LSC) and subsequently converted to geoid heights. Compared
to GOCO03S our regional solution provides an additional short-wavelength signal of up to 1.48 m, or 0.56 m standard deviation,
respectively. The dataset can be also downloaded from the
PANGAEA website.
