CSR RL06 GRACE geofit and postfit dataset

This dataset is produced as an ancillary output during the production of the operational RL06 monthly gravity field solutions derived from GRACE observations. It provides time-series information of the observable residuals (“O–C”) in units of intersatellite range rate, separated into geofit residuals—representing the portion of the signal captured by the monthly averaged gravity field—and postfit residuals, which represent the portion not explained by the monthly gravity field or by other modeled orbital, dynamical, or spacecraft-related parameters. The postfit component contains sub-monthly gravity signals as well as remaining measurement noise and modeling errors. Satellite ground track information is included in the dataset as well.
