- Abstract
GOCE will be the first satellite ever to measure the second derivatives of the Earth's gravitational potential in space. With these measurements it is possible to derive a high accuracy and resolution gravitational field if systematic errors have been removed to the extent possible from the data and the accuracy of the gravity gradients has been assessed. It is therefore necessary to understand the instrument characteristics and to setup a valid calibration model. The calibration parameters of this model could be determined by using GOCE data themselves or by using independent gravity field information. Also the accuracy or error assessment relies on either GOCE or independent data. We will demonstrate how state-of-the-art global gravity field models, terrestrial gravity data and observations at satellite track crossovers can be used for calibration/validation. In addition we will show how high quality terrestrial data could play a role in error assessment.
