Geodetic versus geophysical perspectives of the ‘gravity anomaly’ (2003, unknown): “Ilk 2000; Rummel et al. 2002; Featherstone 2002).”
GPS-derived orbits for the GOCE satellite (2011, methodology): “The core instrument is a three-axis gradiometer for determining the gravity field with an unprecedented accuracy of 1 mGal and the geoid with an accuracy of 1 cm, both at a spatial resolution of 100 km (Rummel et al. 2002).”
EGM_TIM_RL05: An independent geoid with centimeter accuracy purely based on the GOCE mission (2014, background): “Within these areas, the separation process of the altimetric observations into geoid and DOT is challenging, but one should keep in mind that this subject is one of the main goals of the GOCE gravity field models [e.g., ESA, 1999; Rummel et al., 2002].”
GOCO06s – a satellite-only global gravity field model (2020, background): “The era of dedicated gravity field satellite missions (Rummel et al., 2002) provided a huge set of observations of the static as well as time-variable gravity field.”
