AOD1B - GRACE Atmosphere and Ocean De-Aliasing Level 1B Product
The Atmosphere and Ocean De-Aliasing Level-1B (AOD1B) Product provides a priori information about temporal variations in the Earth's gravity field due to global mass variability in the Atmosphere and ocean. It is based on analysis and forecast data …
Atmospheric and Hydrospheric Surface Loading Deformations
GFZ provides surface loading products including vertical and horizontal deformations of the crust imposed by surface loading of geophysical fluids in Atmosphere, oceans, and the continental hydrosphere. Products are provided with a spatial resolutio…
EAM - Atmospheric and Hydrospheric Earth Rotation Excitations
The GFZ contributes to the Global Geophysical Fluid Center (GGFC) of the International Earth Rotation and Reference Systems Service (IERS) by providing matter and motion terms of effective angular momentum functions (EAM). EAMs are due to mass trans…
ESA ESM - the updated ESA Earth System Model for Gravity Mission Simulation Studies
The ESA ESM is a synthetic model of the time-variable gravity field of the Earth suitable for satellite gravity mission simulation studies. The model is an update of the ESA Earth System Model as described by Gruber et al. (2011), and is also given …
IAG Services - Services of the International Association of Geodesy (IAG Services)
The International Association of Geodesy (IAG) is the scientific organization in the field of geodesy. It promotes scientific cooperation and research in geodesy on a global scale and contributes to it through its various research bodies. It is a me…
IERS - International Earth Rotation and Reference Systems Service
The International Earth Rotation and Reference Systems Service (IERS) was established in 1987 by the International Astronomical Union and the International Union of Geodesy and Geophysics. The primary objectives of the IERS are to serve the astronom…
