Seafloor Density Contrast Derived From Gravity and Shipborne Depth Observations: A Case Study in a Local Area of Atlantic Ocean

Marine gravity data from altimetry satellites are often used to derive bathymetry; however, the seafloor density contrast must be known. Therefore, if the ocean water depths are known, the density contrast can be derived. This study experimented the total least squares algorithm to derive seafloor d...
