GRACE-FO releases first Level-2 data products, including nine monthly gravity fields and corresponding atmosphere and ocean dealiasing background model data.

GRACE-FO First Science Data Now Available

The University of Texas at Austin team that led a twin satellite system launched in 2002 to take detailed measurements of the Earth, called the Gravity Recovery and Climate Experiment (GRACE), reports in the most recent issue of the journal Nature Climate Change on the contributions that their nearly two decades of data have made to our understanding of global climate patterns.

GRACE Follow-On has resumed collecting data after completing a switchover to a backup system.
