The COST-G GRACE RL02

In 2019 the Combination Service for Time-variable Gravity fields (COST-G) started its operation with the first release of combined monthly GRACE gravity field models. Meanwhile almost five years have passed, while new experience was gained with the operational combination of the monthly gravity field models of the successor mission GRACE-FO, which has triggered a review of the weighting scheme and consequently a second release of GRACE-FO models in 2023. Moreover, the COST-G consortium has been in close cooperation with new GRACE/GRACE-FO analysis centers from China since spring 2020, which recently provided time-series of unconstrained models, covering the whole GRACE period, as it is requested by the COST-G processing standards. After careful evaluation of all individual time-series the whole GRACE time-series has now been recombined based on the new weighting scheme and also taking into account the contributions of the new COST-G analysis centers APM-SYSU, HUST, SUSTech and Tongji. We present the COST-G GRACE RL02 and also show latest results of the operational GRACE-FO combination.
