Description

As stated in Allgeyer et al (2022) "Our software uses the classical variational approach to integrate satellite orbits (e.g., Beutler et al., 2010), then estimates adjustments to a static gravity field to quantify the “temporal gravity” field (time varying mass anomalies with respect to a mean gravity field). We parameterize the temporal gravity field using mascons and derive changes in mass on each mascon in terms of an equivalent thickness of water over the area of the mascon. We explicitly relate the change in mass of each mascon directly to the inter-satellite measurements, as described in our companion paper (Tregoning et al., 2022)."
