  2. Objectives • Validation of satellite-derived temporal gravity variations by comparison with terrestrial observations deploying superconducting and absolute gravimeters • Improvement of modeling of continental water storage for Europe based on terrestrial and satellite-derived gravity field changes related to first phase:

  3. Network of superconducting gravimeters • superconducting gravimeters • high resolution • high long-term stability • European stations selected • data available for period of GRACE mission • present station cluster • good knowledge of influence factors • good data quality • AG observations available • mostly equipped with permanent GPS GMT

  4. Tasks • to prove, SG data reflect large-scale gravity variations • ‚regionalization‘ allowed • Homogenization of data processing • reprocessing according to fixed criteria • from GPS information on possible vertical deformations • drift assessment and calibration by repeated AG measurements

  5. Tasks • consistent combination of satellite and terrestrial data • extraction of hydrological signal in gravity data • separation of local and regional hydrological effects in SG observations • reduction of further signals in SG data • comparison of hydrologically-induced gravity effects based on hydrological modeling with observations

  6. Challenges • different scales of observations • satellites: • temporal: monthly solutions (in future weekly?) • spatial: 500 – 2000 km • superconducting gravimeters: • temporal: 1s - 10s – data • spatial: „point observations“

  7. Consistent combination Terrestrial gravity data • characteristics of terrestrial gravity observations • SG: • continuous • high resolution • drift • AG: • absolut • episodic • higher noise level

  8. Consistent combination Terrestrial gravity data combination of SG and AG measurements: Bad Homburg, before 10 5 0 -5 µGal 7 (Wziontek, 2007)

  9. Consistent combination Terrestrial gravity data combination of SG and AG measurements: Bad Homburg, after 5 0 -5 -10 µGal µGal 7 res (Wziontek, 2007)

  10. Consistent combination Terrestrial gravity data combination of SG and AG measurements: Wettzell, before 15 10 5 0 -5 -10 µGal 7 (Wziontek, 2007)

  11. Consistent combination Terrestrial gravity data combination of SG and AG measurements: Wettzell, after 15 10 5 0 -5 -10 µGal µGal 7 res (Wziontek, 2007)

  12. Comparison GRACE – SG – hydrological models (Neumeyer et al., 2007)

  13. Comparison GRACE – SG – hydrological models (Kroner, Naujoks, Krause, Neumeyer et al., 2007) Moxa / Germany 5 4 3 2 1 0 -1 -2 -3 -4 -5 gravity [µgal]

  14. Conclusions • combination of AG and SG observations • important information on instrumental properties • reliable, high-precision gravity time series available • global hydrology: • principle agreement between SG and GRACE observations as well as with hydrological models • certain discrepancies • reduction of local hydrological effects in terrestrial observations possible

  15. What next? • continuation of data sets • incorporation of GPS data for geometrical information • improved local hydrological reduction for all SG stations • EOF analyses • comparison with hydrological model for Europe?

  16. Thank you for your attention!
