Improvement of GRIM4 Earth Gravity Models Using Geosat Altimeter and SPOT-2 and ERS-1 Tracking Data

  • Conference paper
Geodesy and Physics of the Earth

Abstract

The fourth generation long-wave global Earth gravity field models, GRIM4, accomplished by a joint German/French effort, undergo continuous improvement with respect to accuracy and resolution by the incorporation of more satellite observations and the consideration of the most recent Earth surface data sets.
