Short summary
The mean sea surface (MSS) is a relative steady-state sea level within a finite period with important applications in geodesy, oceanography, and other disciplines. In this study, the Shandong University of Science and Technology 2020 (SDUST2020), a new global MSS model, was established with a 19-year moving average method from multi-satellite altimetry data. Its global coverage is from 80 °S to 84 °N, the grid size is 1'×1', and the reference period is from January 1993 to December 2019.

Accurate marine gravity anomalies play an important role in the fields of submarine topography, Earth structure, and submarine exploitation. With the launch of different altimetry satellites, the density of altimeter data can meet the requirements of inversion of high-resolution and high-precision gravity anomaly models. We construct the global marine gravity anomaly model (SDUST2021GRA) from altimeter data (including HY-2A). The accuracy of the model is high, especially in the offshore area.

This study refines the coastal gravity anomaly model by constructing a residual terrain model using high-resolution topographic and bathymetric data. In the spatial domain, the RTM (residual terrain model) gravity forward modeling method is applied to effectively compensate for the missing high-frequency information in the XGM2019e-2159 gravity anomaly model. As a result, an RTM-corrected XGM2019e-2159 gravity anomaly model for the study area is obtained.

SDUST2023VGGA is a high-resolution (1' × 1') model developed to map the ocean's vertical gradient of gravity anomaly. By using multidirectional mean sea surface data, it reduces the impact of ocean dynamics and provides detailed global gravity anomaly change rates. This model provides critical insights into seafloor structures and ocean mass distribution, contributing to research in marine geophysics and oceanography. The dataset is freely available on Zenodo.

This study tackles the challenge of measuring sea surface height in the Arctic Ocean, where ice coverage makes accurate modeling difficult. Using advanced satellite data and innovative methods, a new high-resolution mean sea surface model was created. It achieves greater precision than previous models and offers valuable insights into Arctic oceanography. This research provides an important tool for understanding changes in the Arctic environment and their global impacts.

Our research focuses on using machine learning to enhance the accuracy and efficiency of bathymetric models. In this paper, a multi-layer perceptron (MLP) neural network is used to integrate multi-source marine geodetic data. And a new bathymetric model of the global ocean, spanning 0–360° E and 80° S–80° N, known as the Shandong University of Science and Technology 2023 Bathymetric Chart of the Oceans (SDUST2023BCO), has been constructed, with a grid size of 1′ × 1′.

We used multi-satellite altimeter data to construct a high-resolution marine gravity change rate (MGCR) model on 5′×5′ grids, named SDUST2020MGCR. The spatial distribution of SDUST2020MGCR and GRACE MGCR are similar, such as in the eastern seas of Japan (dipole), western seas of the Nicobar Islands (rising), and southern seas of Greenland (falling). The SDUST2020MGCR can provide a detailed view of long-term marine gravity change, which will help to study the seawater mass migration.

Seafloor topography, as fundamental geoinformation in marine surveying and mapping, plays a crucial role in numerous scientific studies. In this paper, we focus on constructing a high-precision seafloor topography and bathymetry model for the Philippine Sea (5° N–35° N, 120° E–150° E), based on shipborne bathymetric data and marine gravity anomalies, and evaluate the reliability of the model's accuracy.

Short summary
A new global marine gravity model, SDUST2022GRA, is recovered from radar and laser altimeter data. The accuracy of SDUST2022GRA is 4.43 mGal on a global scale, which is at least 0.22 mGal better than that of other models. The spatial resolution of SDUST2022GRA is approximately 20 km in a certain region, slightly superior to other models. These assessments suggest that SDUST2022GRA is a reliable global marine gravity anomaly model.
