JPL GRACE and GRACE-FO Level-2 Overview

Abstract

This talk will provide a status update on Level-2 data processing at JPL.  Included will be an overview of data products currently delivered to the community, focusing on the operational RL06.3 GRACE-FO fields.  Assessments of data quality and error levels, along with detailed discussions of the solution strategy will be included.  A look towards an RL07 reprocessing of GRACE and GRACE-FO will additionally be provided.  The reprocessing incorporates the estimation of a full noise covariance model of the satellite observations in the gravity estimates along with updated background force models.
