Abstract
The downward continuation (DWC) method was used to determine the density contrast between the seawater and the ocean bottom topographic mass to estimate accurate bathymetry using the gravity-geologic method (GGM) in two study areas, which are located south of Greenland (Test Area #1: 40 - 50°W and 50 - 60°N) and south of Alaska (Test Area #2: 140 - 150°W and 45 - 55°N). The data used in this study include altimetry- derived gravity anomalies, shipborne depths and gravity anomalies. Density contrasts of 1.47 and 1.30 g cm-3 were estimated by DWC for the two test areas. The considerations of predicted density contrasts can enhance the accuracy of 3 ~ 4 m for GGM.ch are located south of Greenland (Test Area #1: 40 - 50°W and 50 - 60°N) and south of Alaska (Test Area #2: 140 - 150°W and 45 - 55°N).
