Oceanographic applications of GRACE gravity data on global and regional scales
This work demonstrates applications of GRACE gravity data on oceanographically relevant questions concerning global eustatic sea level rise and water mass transport in the region of the Antarctic Circumpolar Current (ACC). Due to the development of the background model OMCT in the AOD1B product from...
