Accurate positions and elevations were observed at 58 of the 59 base stations of the Primary Gravity Network of Nigeria (PGNN), whose absolute gravity values had been accurately determined. The absolute gravity values were plotted against their respective positions to reveal the distribution pattern and strength of the gravity field within the study area. Theoretical gravity values at each base station were generated using the Somigliana's equation. The free-air gravity and free-air anomaly gravity values were generated with respect to the World Geodetic System 1984 (WGS84) ellipsoid using GPS-derived elevation data. Then, the perturbing potential, free-air gravity with respect to the geoid, and the indirect effects were evaluated. The average of the indirect effects was used to adjust the WGS84 gravity formula to produce a gravity formula that better approximates the geoid across the continental area of Nigeria, compatible with the heights measured relative to the geoid, which can serve as a reference for establishing a vertical height control. The Bouguer gravity and Bouguer gravity anomalies across Nigeria revealed a “trans-southern gravity high strip” interpreted to be associated with mantle upwelling. Two new major mega-lineaments related to mantle upwelling were mapped. A batholith province trending NW–SE was delineated, occurring from north central Nigeria to the north western region and containing closures of “Bouguer gravity lows” interpreted as batholiths. A separate closure of “Bouguer gravity low” was detected at Azare, north eastern Nigeria, which may be due to the presence of intrusive granitic body. It is recommended that the mantle structure beneath “the trans-southern gravity high strip”, “delineated batholith province” and “isolated gravity closures” around the northeast of Nigeria should be studied from seismic shear wave splitting analysis for better understanding of the deep lithospheric structures and moho relief.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":46398,"journal":{"name":"Geodesy and Geodynamics","volume":"14 3","pages":"Pages 304-320"},"PeriodicalIF":2.4,"publicationDate":"2023-05-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"44302054","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"地球科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The Global Positioning System (GPS) is often used in these systems to provide absolute position information. However, the GPS measurements are affected by external conditions such as atmospheric bias and multipath effects. This leads to the inability of the stand-alone GPS to provide accurate positioning for the USV systems. One of the solutions to correct the errors of this sensor is by conducting GPS and Inertial Measurement Unit (IMU) fusion. The IMU sensor is complementary to the GPS and not affected by external conditions. However, it accumulates noise as time elapses. Therefore, this study aims to determine the fusion of the GPS and IMU sensors for the i-Boat navigation system, which is a USV developed by Institut Teknologi Sepuluh Nopember (ITS) Surabaya. Using the Unscented Kalman filter (UKF), sensor fusion was carried out based on the state equation defined by the dynamic and kinematic mathematical model of ship motion in 6 degrees of freedom. Then the performance of this model was tested through several simulations using different combinations of attitude measurement data. Two scenarios were conducted in the simulations: attitude measurement inclusion and exclusion (Scenarios I and II, respectively). The results showed that the position estimation in Scenario II was better than in Scenario I, with the Root Mean Square Error (RMSE) value of 0.062 m. Further simulations showed that the presence of attitude measurement data caused a decrease in the fusion accuracy. The UKF simulation with eight measurement parameters (Scenarios A, B and C) and seven measurement parameters (Scenarios D, E and F), as well as analytical attitude movement, indicated that yaw data had the largest noise accumulation compared to roll and pitch.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":46398,"journal":{"name":"Geodesy and Geodynamics","volume":"14 3","pages":"Pages 265-274"},"PeriodicalIF":2.4,"publicationDate":"2023-05-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"43742376","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"地球科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
