water and rock. However, our ability to investigate relations between lake bathymetry and
gravity field effects is limited because of relatively sparse gravity data coverage over most
lake surfaces, and the inability of satellite-derived gravity fields to capture the high frequency
response to density effects. Satellite altimetry may provide an alternate method to determine …
