To understand the influence of sea ice on shipborne gravity measurements and the accuracy of the satellite-altimetry-derived gravity field in the Arctic Ocean, we compared shipborne gravity measurements with those obtained from satellite altimetric gravity measurements. The influence of sea ice on the shipborne gravity measurements was mainly concentrated in the 0–6 km wavelength range, and the standard deviation of the noise amplitudes was 2.62 mGal. Compared to ice-free regions, the accuracies in the region with floating ice were reduced by 13% for DTU21 and 6% for SV31. Due to the influence of sea ice, satellite altimetric gravity data lose significant information in the 9–12 km wavelength range. The coherence curve of the shipborne gravity with bathymetry was nearly the same as that of the satellite altimetric gravity. The satellite data contain nearly all of the significant information that is present in the shipborne data. The differences between the shipborne and satellite gravity data are small and can be used to study the crustal structure of the Arctic.
