| hasSummary |
-
Post-processed GRACE/GRACE-FO spherical harmonic coefficients of GFZ RL06 Level-2 GSM products representing an estimate of Earth's gravity field variations during the specified timespan. Post-processing steps comprise: (1) subtraction of a long-term mean field; (2) optionally, decorrelation and smoothing with VDK filter (anisotropic filter taking the actual error covariance information of the underlying GSM coefficients into account, see Horvath et al. (2018)); (3) replacement of coefficient C20 and its uncertainty by values estimated from Satellite Laser Ranging (SLR); (4) subtraction of linear trend caused by Glacial Isostatic Adjustment (GIA) as provided by a numerical model; (5) insertion of coefficients of degree 1; and (6) removal of estimated signal with 161 days period. These coefficients represent signals caused by water mass redistribution over the continents and in the oceans.
These post-processed GRACE/GRACE-FO GSM products are denoted as Level-2B products.
There are multiple variants of Level-2B products available that differ by the characteristics of the anisotropic filter applied. These variants are distinguishable by the following strings in the product file names:
- 'NFIL': Level-2B product is not filtered
- 'VDK2': Level-2B product is filtered with VDK2
- 'VDK3': Level-2B product is filtered with VDK3
- 'VDK5': Level-2B product is filtered with VDK5
The individual data sets and models used during the post-processing steps mentioned above are provided as well (in the aux_data folder):
