time-variable gravity determination from the grace gravity solutions filtered by tikhonov regularization in sobolev subspace
the grace mission has provided scientific community time-variable gravity field solutions with high precision and on a global scale. the grace mission was launched on march 2003. this mission consists of two satellites that pursue each other in their orbit. distance between two satellites in orbit is measured continuously to an accuracy of better than 1 micron using kbr system placed in satelli...
متن کاملApproximate decorrelation and non-isotropic smoothing of time-variable GRACE-type gravity field models
Wediscuss a newmethod for approximately decorrelating andnon-isotropically filtering themonthly gravity fields provided by the gravity recovery and climate experiment (GRACE) twin-satellite mission. The procedure is more efficient than conventional Gaussiantype isotropic filters in reducing stripes and spurious patterns, while retaining the signal magnitudes. One of the problems that users of G...

The appear:ince of the Earth as seen from space changes continually. These chniigcs it1 bright,iiess and in color are produced by interactioris between (1) geographical factors, such as coasts and mouiitaiiis; (2) scasonal factors, such as t,he brightness c,ii:tnges due t o the deposition and disappearance of siioa’; and (3) mcteorological effects such as the cloud pattcriis indicative of the f...
متن کاملTIME OPTIMAL SLEW MANEUVER OF MAGNETICALLY ACTUATED LEO SATELLITES
Conventional magnetic attitude control methodologies require several orbital periods to accomplish the required attitude maneuvers due to the existence of an uncontrollable axis, namely the local Earth’s magnetic field vector. Since in some attitude maneuver missions the elapsed time is of critical importance, those time-consuming controllers are not satisfactory and we need a much faster contr...
متن کاملMeasurements of time-variable gravity show mass loss in Antarctica.
Using measurements of time-variable gravity from the Gravity Recovery and Climate Experiment satellites, we determined mass variations of the Antarctic ice sheet during 2002-2005. We found that the mass of the ice sheet decreased significantly, at a rate of 152 +/- 80 cubic kilometers of ice per year, which is equivalent to 0.4 +/- 0.2 millimeters of global sea-level rise per year. Most of this...
