Operational GRACE Follow-On monthly gravity field solutions starting from June 2018 up to degree and order 96 computed with the Celestial Mechanics Approach at AIUB (release 02).

The time series is a loose continuation of AIUB-RL02 GRACE monthly gravity field time series and is an update of the operational GRACE Follow-On monthly gravity field time series (https://doi.org/10.5880/ICGEM.2020.001) using Level-1B GRACE Follow-On data and operational accelerometer transplant data from TUG (Institute of Geodesy, TU Graz, Working Group Theoretical Geodesy and Satellite Geodesy) and updated modelling strategies concerning data screening and weighting. The time series is reprocessed starting with June 2018.

The dataset is created within the framework of the G3P project (https://www.g3p.eu/), this project has received funding from the European Union’s Horizon 2020 research and innovation programme under grant agreement No 870353.

The operational solution of release 02 provides a complete time series of GRACE Follow-on data derived monthly gravity field solutions, is regularly updated with new monthly solutions and features a consistent processing with an advanced noise modelling of GRACE Follow-On data. It is recommened for usage. It is strongly recommended to use release 02 and discontinue using release 01.
