Abstract
We present a multiresolution analysis of temporal and spatial variations of the Earth’s gravitational potential by the use of tensor product wavelets which are built up by Legendre and spherical wavelets for the time and space domain, respectively. The multiresolution is performed for satellite and hydrological data, and based on these results we compute correlation coefficients between both data sets, which help us to develop a filter for the extraction of an improved hydrology model from the satellite data.
