GFZ TELLUS GRACE Level-3 Monthly OCEAN Water-Equivalent-Thickness Surface-Mass Anomaly Release 6.0 in netCDF/ASCII/Geotiff Formats

(GRACE_L3_GFZ_RL06_OCN)
DOI
Short NameGRACE_L3_GFZ_RL06_OCN
DescriptionThe monthly ocean mass grids contain ocean water mass given as equivalent water thickness derived from GRACE ocean bottom pressure in ASCII format. Equivalent water thickness is used to represent the water mass so it can be comparable to sea level anomalies due to water mass changes. The time coverage for the monthly grids are determined by GRACE months. For the list of GRACE month dates visit http://grace.jpl.nasa.gov/data/GraceMonths/.
