TOWARDS THE TIME-VARIABLE GRAVITY FIELD FROM CHAMP
M. Weigelt, A. Jäggi, L. Prange, W. Keller, N. Sneeuw
Questions
• Did we get everything out of the CHAMP data?
• Is the time variable gravity field really out of
reach?
• What do we learn for future satellite missions?
2
Previous studies & limitations
• based on the energy balance approach
• two years of GPS-data with 30 s sampling
• no dealiasing products
• no covariance information
3
Degree RMS w.r.t. ITG-GRACE2010s
Processing refinements

Acceleration approach:
• three times the number of observations
• three dimensional observations
Improved GPS positioning:
• 10 s sampling• estimated absolute antenna phase
center model• new IGS standards• …

Outliers vs. poor observations6
• Typically threshold based outlier detection based on residuals:
?? ?
?
• Localizing outlier detection necessary
• Consider (synthetical) covariance information
Results using outlier detection7
CHAMP vs. GRACE monthly solutions8
Monthly solutions
Pushing the limits – combination strategies10
Standard case:single month solution
Combining n-month with unit weight
Combining n-month with Bartlett weight

Conclusion
• Did we get everything out of the data of CHAMP?
CHAMP still offers a wealth of information
• Is the time variable gravity field really out of
reach?
No, but processing needs further improvements
• What do we learn for future satellite missions?
“Real” covariance information neededIncrease the number of observations
