The set of panels below provide an overview of ESA’s Gravity field and steady-state Ocean Explorer (GOCE) mission.
GOCE, the first in a series of Earth Explorer missions, is dedicated to measuring the Earth's gravity field and modelling the geoid with unprecedented accuracy and spatial resolution. Data from this advanced gravity mission will improve our knowledge of ocean circulation, help define a global height reference system – which will contribute to understanding more about sea-level change, provide a better insight into Earth-interior process as well as help make significant advances in geodesy and surveying.
Files are available in print-ready version for the following formats:
Backdrops: 400 x 200 cm
Panels: 70 x 100 cm
The GOCE geoid is the basis for
understanding more about global
ocean currents and monitoring sealevel
change. It serves as the fundamental
reference for traditional height
systems, enabling practical applications
in mapping, levelling and
construction.
