Monthly mascon products Name: GSFC.glb.200204_202406_RL06v2.0_OBP-ICE6GD Data Span: April 2002 - June 2024 Summary: Global mascon solution where the GAD product has been restored, meaning the ocean mascons describe ocean bottom pressure (OBP). This product is comparable to the JPL and CSR mascon products. Grid: 1-arc-degree equal area cells Available formats: HDF5 ASCII Name: GSFC.glb.200204_202406_RL06v2.0_SLA-ICE6GD Data Span: April 2002 - June 2024 Summary: Global mascon solution where the GAD product has been restored and the mean GAD over the ocean has been removed, meaning the ocean mascons describe sea level anomalies (SLA), and their sum captures the mass component of global mean sea level change. Grid: 1-arc-degree equal area cells Available formats: HDF5 ASCII Name: GSFC.glb.200204_202406_RL06v2.0_OBP-ICE6GD_HALFDEGREE.nc Data Span: April 2002 – June 2024 Summary: Global mascon solution where the GAD product has been restored, meaning the ocean mascons describe ocean bottom pressure (OBP). This product is comparable to the JPL and CSR mascon products. The 1-arc-degree equal area values have been placed on an equal angle 0.5x0.5 degree grid. Land values are determined with a least squares estimator that conserves mass over each region, while ocean values have been interpolated/extrapolated. Grid: 0.5x0.5 degrees Available formats: NetCDF High-resolution trend mascon products Name: GSFC_highres_trends_GRACE_200204-201608_RL06v1.0_GSM-ICE6GD Data Span: April 2002 - August 2016 Summary: High-resolution global mascon trend solution, where each mascon regression model (including the trend) has been directly estimated from the full span of Level 1B data. The GAD product has not been restored, meaning the ocean mascons are consistent with the Level 2 GSM product information. Grid: 1-arc-degree equal area cells Available formats: ASCII Name: GSFC_highres_trends_GRACE_200204-201608_GFO_201806-202009_RL06v1.0_GSM-ICE6GD Data Span: April 2002 - August 2016 (GRACE); June 2018 - September 2020 (GRACE-FO) Summary: High-resolution global mascon trend solution, where each mascon regression model (including the trend) has been directly estimated from the full span of Level 1B data. The GAD product has not been restored, meaning the ocean mascons are consistent with the Level 2 GSM product information.
