CALIBRATION/VALIDATION OF GOCE DATA OVER ANTARCTICA
European Space Agency's GOCE space gradiometer mission is anticipated to produce the mean gravity field model of the Earth with an unprecedented geoid accuracy of 1 cm RMS with wavelength at 130 km or longer. We propose an international effort for the calibration and validation of GOCE gravity...
