One of the main goals in utilizing GOCE data for gravity field modeling is the application of filtering techniques that can remove gross errors and reduce low-frequency errors and high-frequency noise while preserving the original signal. This paper aims to present and analyze three filtering strategies used to de-noise the GOCE Level 2 data from long-wavelength correlated errors and noise. These strategies are Finite Impulse Response (FIR), Infinite Impulse Response (IIR), and Wavelet Multi-resolution Analysis (WL), which have been applied to GOCE residual second order derivatives of the gravity potential. Several experiments were performed for each filtering scheme in order to identify the ideal filtering parameters. The outcomes indicate that all the suggested filtering strategies proved to be effective in removing low-frequency errors while preserving the signals in the GOCE MBW, with FIR filtering providing the overall best results.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/rs14133024","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2022,6,23]],"date-time":"2022-06-23T22:43:00Z","timestamp":1656024180000},"page":"3024","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":7,"title":["FIR, IIR and Wavelet Algorithms for the Rigorous Filtering of GOCE SGG Data to the GOCE MBW"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"14","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-3996-7433","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Eleftherios","family":"Pitenis","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Laboratory of Gravity Field Research and Applications (GravLab), Department of Geodesy and Surveying, Aristotle University of Thessaloniki, University Box 440, GR-54124 Thessaloniki, Greece"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-7687-4164","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Elisavet","family":"Mamagiannou","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Laboratory of Gravity Field Research and Applications (GravLab), Department of Geodesy and Surveying, Aristotle University of Thessaloniki, University Box 440, GR-54124 Thessaloniki, Greece"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-3943-1767","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Dimitrios A.","family":"Natsiopoulos","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Laboratory of Gravity Field Research and Applications (GravLab), Department of Geodesy and Surveying, Aristotle University of Thessaloniki, University Box 440, GR-54124 Thessaloniki, Greece"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-2475-2568","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Georgios S.","family":"Vergos","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Laboratory of Gravity Field Research and Applications (GravLab), Department of Geodesy and Surveying, Aristotle University of Thessaloniki, University Box 440, GR-54124 Thessaloniki, Greece"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-3797-8016","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Ilias N.","family":"Tziavos","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Laboratory of Gravity Field Research and Applications (GravLab), Department of Geodesy and Surveying, Aristotle University of Thessaloniki, University Box 440, GR-54124 Thessaloniki, Greece"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-1486-8284","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Vassilios N.","family":"Grigoriadis","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Laboratory of Gravity Field Research and Applications (GravLab), Department of Geodesy and Surveying, Aristotle University of Thessaloniki, University Box 440, GR-54124 Thessaloniki, Greece"}]},{"given":"Michael G.","family":"Sideris","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Geomatics Engineering, University of Calgary, 2500 University Drive NW, Calgary, AB T2N 1N4, Canada"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2022,6,23]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"1","DOI":"10.1023\/A:1020104624752","article-title":"GOCE: The Earth Gravity Field by Space Gradiometry","volume":"83","author":"Albertella","year":"2002","journal-title":"Celest.
