The GOCE (Gravity field and steady-state Ocean Circulation Explorer) mission launched on 17 March 2009 provides for the first time Satellite Gravity Gradiometer (SGG) data. It is designed to recover the Earth gravity anomaly field with an accuracy of better than 1 to 2 mGal with a spatial resolution...
