An improved solution of the gravity field of Mars (GMM‐2B) from Mars Global Surveyor

TL;DR: A spherical harmonic solution of the Mars gravity field to degree and order 80 was developed using X band tracking data of Mars Global Surveyor (MGS) from October 1997 to February 2000 and altimeter crossovers formed from the Mars Orbiter Laser Altimeter (MOLA) data between March and December 1999 as discussed by the authors.
Journal ArticleDOI

Resolving mass flux at high spatial and temporal resolution using GRACE intersatellite measurements

TL;DR: In this article, an approach similar in concept to altimetric methods that recovers sub-monthly mass flux at a high spatial resolution was presented, using 4° × 4° blocks at 10-day intervals, estimating the mass of surplus or deficit water over a 52° × 60° grid centered on the Amazon basin for July 2003.
Journal ArticleDOI

Global Mass Flux Solutions from GRACE: A Comparison of Parameter Estimation Strategies - Mass Concentrations Versus Stokes Coefficients

TL;DR: In this article, the differences between mass concentration (mas con) parameters and standard Stokes coefficient parameters in the recovery of gravity infonnation from gravity recovery and climate experiment (GRACE) intersatellite K-band range rate data are investigated.
Journal ArticleDOI

Monthly spherical harmonic gravity field solutions determined from GRACE inter-satellite range-rate data alone

TL;DR: In this paper, the Earth's gravity field determined solely from GRACE inter-satellite range-rate measurements using an improved method of accelerometer calibration and the use of a baseline state parameterization is presented.
Journal ArticleDOI

The temporal and spatial characteristics of TOPEX/POSEIDON radial orbit error

TL;DR: In this article, the authors examined the spatial and temporal characteristics of the T/P radial orbit error, as assessed through the analysis of laser tracking residuals and orbit comparisons with independently generated trajectories.
