In this paper,we investigated the applications of geoid anomalies in geophysical interpretation.The ultra-high geopotential model EGM2008 is used to compute the gravimetric geoid,and the corresponding Bouguer and isostatic geoids are obtained from complete topographic and Airy-Heiskanen local isostatic corrections with a synthetic method combining the prism and tesseroid approaches.Then the geoids are divided into several residuals which represent anomalous features in different depths,by removing different wavelength components.Finally,a case study over the Hunan area based on these data sets and other geophysical data is presented.The results show that the residual gravimetric geoids can reveal some anomalous structures in deep earth effectively,such as the distributions of deep rifts,the locations of tectonic blocks and the lateral density distribution in the upper mantle etc..However,the anomalous features in the crust are not evident in these residuals.The variation of density anomalies in the lithosphere is much smoother than that in the shallower depth,while the thickness of the lithosphere deepens from east to west.The Moho undulations,and the isostatic state of the research area which can be regarded as complementary information,are inferred roughly from the analysis of both the residual isostatic geoids and Airy local isostatic Moho depths.The results showed above give us a new way to overcome the absence and sparseness of gravity data in remote areas for geophysical interpretation.
