dealiasing_monthly_mean.py

  • Reads GRACE/GRACE-FO level-1b dealiasing data files for a specific product and outputs monthly the mean for a specific GRACE/GRACE-FO processing center and data release

    • 'GAA': atmospheric loading from ECMWF

    • 'GAB': oceanic loading from OMCT/MPIOM

    • 'GAC': global atmospheric and oceanic loading

    • 'GAD': ocean bottom pressure from OMCT/MPIOM

  • Creates monthly files of oblateness variations at 3 or 6-hour intervals
