Ran, Jiangjun (author), Ditmar, P.G. (author), Liu, Lin (author), Xiao, Yun (author), Klees, R. (author), Tang, Xueyuan (author)Mascon products derived from Gravity Recovery and Climate Experiment satellite gravimetry data are widely used to study the Greenland ice sheet mass balance. However, the products released by different research groups—JPL, CSR, and GSFC—show noticeable discrepancies. To understand them, we compare those mascon products with mascon solutions...journal article 2021

(author)The orbit and instrumental measurement of the Gravity Field and Steady State Ocean Circulation Explorer (GOCE) satellite mission offer the highest ever resolution capabilities for mapping Earth's gravity field from space. However, past analysis predicted that GOCE would not detect changes in ice sheet mass. Here we demonstrate that GOCE gravity...journal article 2014

Siemes, C. (author), Ditmar, P. (author), Riva, E.M. (author), Slobbe, D.C. (author), Liu, X.L. (author), Farahani, H. (author)The Gravity Recovery and Climate Experiment (GRACE) satellite mission measures the Earth’s gravity field since March 2002. We propose a new filtering procedure for post-processing GRACE-based monthly gravity field solutions provided in the form of spherical harmonic coefficients. The procedure is tuned for the optimal estimation of linear trends...journal article 2012

Schrama, E.J.O. (author), Wouters, B. (author), Vermeersen, L.L.A. (author)This paper summarizes results obtained for Greenland’s mass balance observed with NASA’s GRACE mission. We estimate a Greenland ice sheet mass loss at ?201 ± 19 Gt/year including a discernible acceleration of ?8 ± 7 Gt/year2 between March 2003 and February 2010. The mass loss of glacier systems on the South East of Greenland has slowed down...journal article 2011
