3 User Community Activities and Involvement
Workshop 2007 Noordwijk, NL IUGG resolution and letter to Space Agencies, 2012 User Community Workshop 2009 Graz, AT Global User Community Science Team (IUGG, IAG, GGOS) Coordinator R. Pail. User need document Round table Satellite Gravity Exploration China-Euro meeting, Beijing 2013 ESA-NASA Interagency Gravity Science Working Group

4 Review of status User Community Workshop 2007 Noordwijk, NL
Main outcome: Short term: full exploitation of GRACE and GOCE, continue GRACE with GRACE-FO Medium term: Next-Generation Gravity Mission (NGGM) (constellations with low-low SST, i.e. GRACE-2 and NGGM) Long term: study alternative technologies, e.g. cold-atom interferometry, clocks Move forward from science demonstration concepts towards sustained observations of mass transport in the Earth system supporting relevant application areas (like hydrology at catchment level) User Community Workshop 2007 Noordwijk, NL User Community Workshop 2009 Graz, AT

6 Long Term: Where are we heading?
If atomic clocks reach relative accuracies of 10-18: Measure direct potential differences with clocks (Einstein) Replace spirit leveling by clocks with “cm accuracy” or better Today we are around 3 to ! 10-18~1 cm in height Harrison 1 first sea chronometer

Gravity gradiometer (V – Ω2), gyroscope (Ω), accelerometer (a) Theoretical performance: (V+Ω2)  4.7 mE / sqrt(Hz) Ω  35 prad/s / sqrt(Hz) a  2 pm/s2 / sqrt(Hz) Hybrid Atom-Electrostatic System for Satellite Geodesy

14 Two-satellites: falling objects including laser ranging LOW-LOW SST
Constellations: minimum two in-line pairs (polar and inclined); laser ranging with “fixed” proof masses and drag reduction long observation period 14

15 Error Characteristics 1-pair vs 2 pairs
One pair (polar) Two pairs (polar + I=63°) Credits: P. Visser

16 Constellation: optimising sampling in space and time
302 km 1 day

17 Constellation: optimising sampling in space and time
4 days 302 km 1 day

18 Constellation: optimising sampling in space and time
302 km 316 km 331 km 11 days 11 days 4 days 4 days 4 days

19 Two-satellites: falling objects including laser ranging LOW-LOW SST
Constellations: Aspects of optimising processing: short term solutions at larges spatial scales to absorb aliasing effect due to daily and sub-daily processes instead of using de-aliasing models longer term 7, 14 days or 30 days “cleaned” solution a high resolution (compatible with user needs) provide comparable quality at longer term intervals Maybe almost GOCE resolution at GRACE time intervals possible but what is needed ? Test done by simulations using the new updated ESA mass transport model 19

20 Mass Transport Model to Test Ideas
Tides Oceans Atmosphere Ice Hydrology Solid Earth Simulated “real” world

21 New ESA Mass Transport Model ESAESM and desciption available at GFZ
New model for simulations of future missions accessible through

22 What can we learn from gravity field missions ?

23 What is needed in the near future?
Future Concepts? User needs document from global community (IUGG initiative)

24 Past, present and “near” future ?
Continuation of observations at lower resolution CHAMP GRACE GRACE FO GOCE 2000 2010 2020 2030 Start of sustained observations at high resolution Past, present and planned Future constellation

25 GRACE heritage: examples for future concepts
Low-low SST concept Laser SST demonstration (FO) Processing chain Long time series lower resolution Future SST

26 GOCE heritage: examples for future concepts
Atom interferometer gradiometry Earth/planets static/time variations Future gradiometry Drag free system and control Stable structure Accelerometer & Thermal control Future SST

27 In summary: the potential for the future
Enormous potential for studying Earth with on-going gravity missions (and soon GRACE-FO) Current science and technology activities are driven by past high quality proposals to ESA (Licody, e-motion) Lot of potential for future concepts that provide essential and unique high resolution information on system Earth and for applications requested by the user communities User community is in the driver seat: provide a convincing user case, convince politicians who fund and/or decide on space agencies programmes
