International Centre for Global Earth Models (ICGEM)
G3 Browser available again:
The updated GFZ Grace Gravity (G3) Browser is available on ICGEM.It computes time series of equivalent water height and gives users the opportunity to compare different series.
ICGEM is one of five services coordinated by the
International Gravity Field Service (IGFS) of the
International Association of Geodesy (IAG).
The other services are:
- BGI (Bureau Gravimetrique International), Toulouse, France
- ISG (International Service for the Geoid), Politecnico di Milano, Milano, Italy
- IGETS (International Geodynamics and Earth Tide Service), EOST, Strasbourg, France
- IDEMS (International Digital Elevation Model Service), ESRI, Redlands, CA, USA
Services of ICGEM
- collecting and archiving of all existing global gravity field models
- web interface for getting access to global gravity field models
- web based visualization of the gravity field models their differences and their time variation
- web based service for calculating different functionals of the gravity field models
- web site for tutorials on spherical harmonics and the theory of the calculation service
- new service since 2016: providing a Digital Object Identifier (DOI) for the data set of the model (the coefficients)
