AI-generated Key Takeaways
-
The datasets provide monthly gravitational anomalies, represented as "Equivalent Water Thickness" in centimeters, relative to a time-mean baseline.
-
Data is derived from GRACE and GRACE-FO missions and processed using Mascon or gridded approaches.
-
They include global and regional coverage, with separate datasets for land and ocean mass variations.
-
These datasets are valuable for studying terrestrial water storage, ocean bottom pressure, and other mass change phenomena.
-
JPL and GFZ provide different processing methods and versions of the GRACE data.

GRACE Monthly Mass Grids - Ocean EOFR
GRACE Tellus Monthly Mass Grids provides monthly gravitational anomalies relative to a 2004-2010 time-mean baseline. The data contained in this dataset are units of "Equivalent Water Thickness" which represent the deviations of mass in terms of vertical extent of water in centimeters. See the provider's … crs gfz grace gravity jpl mass -
GRACE Monthly Mass Grids Release 06 Version 04 - Land
The monthly land mass grids contain water mass anomalies given as equivalent water thickness derived from GRACE & GRACE-FO time-variable gravity observations during the specified timespan, and relative to the specified time-mean reference period. The equivalent water thickness represents the total terrestrial water storage anomalies … crs gfz grace gravity jpl land -
