EIGEN-6C4 The latest combined global gravity field model including GOCE data up to degree and order 2190 of GFZ Potsdam and GRGS Toulouse
Open accessAbstract
EIGEN-6C4 is a static global combined gravity field model up to degree and order 2190. It has been elaborated jointly by GFZ Potsdam and GRGS Toulouse. The combination of the different satellite and surface data sets has been done by a band-limited combination of normale equations (to max degree 370), which are gererated from observation equations for the spherical harmonic coefficients. A brief description of the applied techniques for the generation of such a combined gravity field model is given in Shako et al. 2014. The resulted solution to degree/order 370 has been extended to degree/order 2190 by a block diagonal solution using the DTU10 global gravity anomaly data grid.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
