Global and regional seasonal variations of the geoid detected by grace
View through Europeana Collections
Since 2002, the US-German GRACE (Gravity Recovery and Climate Experiment) mission has been providing a precise survey of the Earth's time-variable gravity field, with unprecedented temporal and spatial sampling. GRACE time-variable gravity fields provide a means of measuring the temporal and spatial variations of mass redistribution within the Earth system. The GRACE mission has started a new era in studying a series of geophysical problems ranging from deep Earth structure to tracking mass redistribution on and near the surface of the Earth. Time variability of the gravity field presented here is based on the transformation of “monthly gravity field models” to the geoid. We show the changes caused by the global water cycle and land hydrology.

GRACE time-variable gravity fields provide a means of measuring the temporal and spatial variations of mass redistribution within the Earth system.
The GRACE mission has started a new era in studying a series of geophysical problems ranging from deep Earth structure to tracking mass redistribution on and near the surface of the Earth.
Time variability of the gravity field presented here is based on the transformation of “monthly gravity field models” to the geoid.
We show the changes caused by the global water cycle and land hydrology.
