| Zusammenfassung |
| The Gravity and Ocean Circulation Experiment - GOCE satellite mission is a new type of Earth observation satellite that will measure the Earth gravity and geoid with unprecedented accuracy. Combining GOCE geoid models with satellite altimetric observations of the sea surface height substantial improvements in the modelling of the ocean circulation and transport are foreseen. No ocean circulation products are planned to be delivered as level-2 products as part of the GOCE project so that a strong need exists, for oceanographers, to further process the GOCE level-2 geoid and merge it with Radar Altimetry. The primary requirement of oceanographers is to have access to a geoid and its error covariance at the highest spatial resolution and accuracy possible, although required resolution depends on application. For effective use of the geoid data, knowledge of the error covariance is mandatory. Within the ESA supported GUTS projects, the user requirements for GOCE User Toolbox associated with geodetic, oceanographic and solid earth applications are consolidated. The Toolbox functionality and results focusing on operational oceanography will be presented during the poster session. |
