Assessment of observing time-variable gravity from GOCE GPS and accelerometer observations
An assessment has been made of the possibility to estimate time-variable gravity from GPS-derived orbit perturbations and common-mode accelerometer observations of ESA’s GOCE Earth Explorer. A number of 20-day...

An improved sampling rule for map** geopotential functions of a planet from a near polar orbit
One of the limiting factors in the determination of gravity field solutions is the spatial sampling. Especially during phases, when the satellite repeats its own track after a short time, the spatial resolutio...

Dependency of Resolvable Gravitational Spatial Resolution on Space-Borne Observation Techniques
The so-called Colombo-Nyquist (Colombo, The global map** of gravity with two satellites, 1984) rule in satellite geodesy has been revisited. This rule predicts that for a gravimetric satellite flying in a (n...

Surface Mass Loading Estimates from GRACE and GPS
In this paper we discuss the properties of an Empirical Orthogonal Filter approach applied to monthly GRACE gravity solutions which are used to estimate surface mass thickness maps. The vertical loading effect...

Continental hydrology retrieval from GPS time series and GRACE gravity solutions
Monitoring of continental hydrology by measuring gravity variations is one of the primary aims of the Gravity Recovery and Climate Experiment (GRACE) mission. We proposed to combine the GRACE measurements with...

Accuracy assessment of the monthly GRACE geoids based upon a simulation
The purpose of this paper is to demonstrate the effect of geophysical background model errors that affects temporal gravity solutions provided by the Gravity Recovery And Climate Experiment (GRACE). Initial pe...

Space-borne gravimetry: determination of the time variable gravity field
The gravity field of the Earth can be divided into a dominant quasi-static part and several relatively small but significant temporal constituents. Important examples of temporal sources are ocean tides, atmos...

Mass redistribution from global GPS timeseries and GRACE gravity fields: inversion issues
Monitoring hydrological redistributions through their integrated gravitational effect is one of the primary aims of the GRACE mission. Yet it has been proposed that at larger scales this may be achieved indepe...

Error Characteristics Estimated from Champ, GRACE and GOCE Derived Geoids and from Satellite Altimetry Derived Mean Dynamic Topography
This paper presents a review of geoid error characteristics of three satellite gravity missions in view of the general problem of separating scientifically interesting signals from various noise sources. The p...

Calibration and Error Assessment of GOCE Data
The GOCE level lb data products consist, among others, of time lines of calibrated and corrected gravity gradient data and SST data. The calibration for GOCE can be described as a multi-step procedure consisti...

Combination of Space Techniques into one Integrated Processing Model
In the determination of the reference system satellite orbit determination plays an important role. With purely geometric techniques it is not possible to determine e.g. the position of the Earth’s centre of m...

Chapter and Conference Paper
Gravity Research Missions reviewed in light of the indirect ocean tide potential.
In the last 15 years a number of proposals have been made for the realization of a dedicated gravity research mission, hereafter referred to as a GRM. We deliberately avoid a lengthy summary of all the differe...
