Description:
This is a gravimetric geoid model of the Iberian Peninsula, referred to WGS84 reference system. IBERGEO2006 was computed
using the same methodology of the predecessor IBERGEO95, with the following data: a) the EIGEN-CG03C global geopotential
model, complete to degree and order 360, b) a set of 209752 validated marine and land free air gravity anomalies covering
the Iberian Peninsula and surrounding regions, also including Northern Africa, c) the IBHGEO200 digital terrain model with
a resolution of 200 m x 200 m, d) altimetry satellite data from ERS1-2 and TOPEX/POSEIDON, to be used for validation. The
geoid computation was based on Stokes' integration in convolution form, exploiting 1D FFT technique. The terrain correction
was applied to the data and the corresponding indirect effect was taken into account. The computed geoid was compared to 410
GPS/levelling points provided by the Geographical Institutes of Spain and Portugal, showing a standard deviation of 1.3 centimeters
and a relative precision of 0.62 ppm.
