2009 GRACE Science Team Meeting

The 2009 GRACE Science Team Meeting will be held 5-6 November 2009 in Austin, Texas USA. Agenda at http://www.csr.utexas.edu/grace/GSTM/agenda.html

GRACE Unlocks Secret to Northern India's Vanishing Water

Northern India's underground water supply is being pumped and consumed by human activities faster than the aquifers can be replenished.

HIGHLIGHTS

A discovery about the moon made in the 1960s is helping researchers unlock secrets about Earth's ocean today. >> 

Researchers estimate that a rise in sea level from the rapid collapse of the West Antarctic Ice Sheet would be on the order of 3.3 meters, approximately half of previous estimates. The consequences of such an event would be felt more profoundly along th >> 

Global monitoring of Earth’s fresh water can best be done from space. The Discovery Channel’s Planet Earth series includes a highlight on the value of GRACE data in the ‘Freshwater’ segment. >> 

DATA

A coding error in the software that computes Global Isostatic Adjustment (=PGR) was found. Its effect is less than 2 mm/yr everywhere over the globe, less than 0.05 mm/yr in global sea level rise.

Destriped GRACE grids, including a GIA model, degree 1 coefficients, added to the ftp site

DYNAMIC OCEAN TOPOGRAPHY

A time-mean Dynamic Ocean Topographic, and derived geostrophic velocities, computed from the latest Mean Sea Surface and Geoid models, have been added.
