New satellite missions are returning high precision, time-varying, satellite measurements of the Earth’s gravity field. The GRACE mission is now in its calibration/validation phase and first results of the gravity field solutions are imminent. We consider here the possibility of external validation using data from the superconducting gravimeters in the European sub-array of the Global Geodynami...

This study focused upon the estimation and analysis of terrestrial water storage (TWS changes) across Canadian landscape. The was performed using Gravity Recovery Climate Experiment (GRACE) data from April 2002 to June 2017, GRACE Follow-On (GRACE-FO) observations 2018 December 2019. Removing gravity effects Glacial Isostatic Adjustment (GIA) signals leakage is required have realistic estimatio...

A new functional model is proposed for gravity field modeling on the basis of KBR data from the GRACE satellite mission. This functional model explicitly connects a linear combination of gravitational potential gradients with a linear combination of range-rate measurements at several successive epochs. The system of observation equations is solved in the least-squares sense by means of the pre-...

We carry out a comprehensive error assessment of Gravity Recovery and Climate Experiment (GRACE) GRACE Follow-On (GFO) Release-6 (RL06) solutions from the Center for Space Research (CSR) at University Texas Austin, NASA Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL), Geoforschungszentrum (GFZ). The study covers period April 2002 to August 2020 uses two different methods, one based upon open ocean residuals (O...

Abstract Geodetic observation methods, e.g., satellite gravimeter and Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS), are mainly used for determining the Earth’s gravity field reference system. However, many efforts have been made to adopt mentioned methods estimating hydrological dynamics. The of Gravity Recovery Climate Experiment its Following-On missions (GRACE/GRACE-FO) proven capture terrestri...

Continuous observations of temporal variations in the Earth's gravity field have recently become available at an unprecedented resolution of a few hundreds of kilometers. The gravity field is a product of the Earth's mass distribution, and these data-provided by the satellites of the Gravity Recovery And Climate Experiment (GRACE)-can be used to study the exchange of mass both within the Earth ...
