Non-isotropic filtering of GRACE temporal gravity for geophysical signal enhancement (2005, methodology): “Monthly time-series of geopotential spherical harmonic (SH) coefficients constitute the GRACE Level-2 (L2) science data product (Tapley et al. 2004b).”
Gravity Recovery and Interior Laboratory (GRAIL): Mapping the Lunar Interior from Crust to Core (2013, methodology): “This method was extended on the GRACE mission (Dunn et al. 2002), which has been successfully mapping the Earth’s gravity field since launch in March, 2002 (Tapley et al. 2004).”
Antarctica, Greenland and Gulf of Alaska land-ice evolution from an iterated GRACE global mascon solution (2013, background): “These observations have similar patterns to melting days anomalies derived from passive microwave observations which, for the entire AIS, reached a new historical minimum for the 1980–2009 period (Tedesco and Monaghan, 2009).”
Advancing data assimilation in operational hydrologic forecasting: progresses, challenges, and emerging opportunities (2012, background): “The NASA/German Gravity Recovery and Climate Experiment (GRACE) satellite (launched in 2002) can map Earth’s gravity field with enough accuracy to discern month to month changes in the distribution of the total terrestrial water storage on Earth (Tapley et al., 2004).”
High‐resolution CSR GRACE RL05 mascons (2016, methodology): “GRACE mass flux and distribution has been traditionally estimated from the changes in the Earth’s gravitational potential which is typically represented by spherical harmonic expansion [Tapley et al., 2004a].”
Bernese GNSS Software Version 5.2 (2015, methodology): “2002), Gravity Recovery And Climate Experiment (GRACE) (Tapley et al. 2004), and Gravity and steadystate Ocean Circulation Explorer (GOCE) (Drinkwater et al.”
GGM02 – An improved Earth gravity field model from GRACE (2005, background): “This sequence of monthly gravity models showed clear evidence of reasonable Earth gravity field variability to resolutions as small as 600 km, primarily due to hydrological variations ( Tapley et al. 2004b; Wahr et al. 2004).”
EGM_TIM_RL05: An independent geoid with centimeter accuracy purely based on the GOCE mission (2014, background): “The maximal order affected by the polar gap [van Gelderen and Koop, 1997] is mmax and 𝜃0 is the opening angle of the polar gap in radians (≈ 0.11 for GOCE).”
