With the CHAMP, GRACE, GOCE and GRACE Follow-On missions, mass distribution and mass transport in the Earth system can be systematically observed and monitored from space. A wide range of Earth science disciplines benefit from these data, enabling improvements in applied models, providing new insights into Earth system processes (e.g., monitoring the global water cycle, ice sheet and glacier melting or sea-level rise) or establishing new operational services. Long time series of mass transport data are needed to disentangle anthropogenic and natural sources of climate change impacts on the Earth system. In order to secure sustained observations on a long-term basis, space agencies and the Earth science community are currently planning future satellite gravimetry mission concepts to enable higher accuracy and better spatial and temporal resolution. This Special Issue provides examples of recent improvements in gravity observation techniques and data processing and analysis, applications in the fields of hydrology, glaciology and solid Earth based on satellite gravimetry data, as well as concepts of future satellite constellations for monitoring mass transport in the Earth system.Research & information: generalbicsscterrestrial water storage (TWS)GRACEGLDASTRMMdroughtENSONAOTurkeyMass balanceIce SheetsSea-level RiseAntarcticaCryoSat-2GRACE-Follow OnGRACE-FOdownward continuationspectral methodsgravity field recoveryGRACE Follow-Onorbit configurationsynergistic observationmass transport in the Earth systemGRACE and GRACE follow-on missioncurrent and future observation concepts and instrumentsGRACE TWSAgroundwater level anomalydownscalingmachine learningboosted regression treesglacial sedimentice masssatellite gravimetryPatagoniaice mass changeSLRswarmnormal equation combinationcoseismic gravity gradient changesgravity field modelGOCEEarth’s gravity fieldkinematic orbitkinematic baselinetime-variable gravitygeocenterreference framesself-attraction and loadingLevel-2 processingtime-variable gravity fieldmass change monitoringnext-generation gravity missiontemporal gravity fieldnumerical closed-loop simulationsatellite mission constellationsmass transportgravity field satellite missionsGOCE High-Level Processing Facility (HPF), earth gravity fieldgeoidspectral enhancement method (SEM), GPS/levelingResearch & information: generalGruber Thomasedt1309874Eicker AnnetteedtFlechtner FrankedtGruber ThomasothEicker AnnetteothFlechtner FrankothBOOK9910557772303321Remote Sensing by Satellite Gravimetry3029688UNINA
