We analyzed the effectiveness of EOF in decorrelation of gravity field. Results show that only a small Gaussian smoothing radius was needed by EOF to significantly weaken the north -south stripes compared with the empirical moving-window filtering algorithm. The comparative experiments with a Global Land Data Assimilation System （GLDAS） hydrological model also show that EOF did not much affect the real geophysical signals, and that the removed signals were nearly uncorrelated with the real geophysical signals. As the Gravity Recovery and Climate Experiment （GRACE） missions continue, EOF can be used to significantly remove the correlated errors from monthly gravity fields and reserve rich effective signals.展开更多

To illustrate the underlying principle and algorithm, a detailed study is made on the K-band ranging （KBR） assembly, which includes the measurement principles, modeling of noises, the generation of Level 1A data from that of Level 0 as well as Level IA to Level IB data processing.展开更多
