Motivation FES2004 is primarily based on TOPEX/Poseidon
data, which doesn’t extend north of 66°N. Thus, Arctic ocean tides aren’t well constrained by satellite altimetry.
The GRACE orbit goes up to 89°N. Relative acceleration values between the two
GRACE satellites are used to solve for “mass concentrations” (mascons) on Earth’s surface. The solution method allows each mascon’s mass to oscillate at tidal and seasonal frequencies, as well as changing linearly.
FES2004 effects have been subtracted from the acceleration values, so the amplitudes at tidal periods represent errors in FES 2004. The mass amplitudes are converted to equivalent “cm of water” amplitudes.

Inversion Details Smoothed residual acceleration values are
averaged at 5 second intervals when satellites are north of 50° N latitude.
7 million accelerations total over 7 years. A constant offset, secular trend and
amplitude/phase at seasonal and tidal periods are simultaneously solved for at each mascon.
Mascons are ~230km apart; 1200 mascons cover the area north of 50° N latitude.
Mascons are modeled as point masses for speed.

Conclusions GRACE-derived corrections are: large
where FES2004 is large, not generally larger north of 66°N, and much larger than truncation errors.

Conclusions GRACE-derived corrections are: large
where FES2004 is large, not generally larger north of 66°N, and much larger than truncation errors.
GRACE-derived corrections to FES2004 reduce the variance of accelerations not used in the inversion, so they can improve GRACE processing but can’t currently improve tide gauge predictions, probably due to short-scale effects that GRACE can’t resolve.
