Crustal Structures And Petroleum Prospectives of the Seychelles Platform, Identified In the Marine Geoid
Hayling, K.L. (PetroScan AB, Sweden)
ALTIMETER DATA PROCESSING The most pronounced signal of the marine geoid over the Radar altimeter data from GEOS-3, SEASAT and Seychelles Platform is associated with the rapid increase GEOSAT were combined to one data set over the in water depth going from the continental shelf to the Seychelles Platform (Figure 1). Each satellite track has deep ocean. The bulge of the geoid, caused by the higher been individually selected and checked for coherency in density of the plateau relative to sea water, is adjusted areas of repeat passes. The addition of GEOS3 for, together with the effect from the isostatic measurements is especially important in equatorial regions compensation associated with the sea floor topography.
