<p class="Default">The GOCE satellite mission is one of the main achievements of the satellite geodesy for the Earth’s gravitational field recovery. Three different approaches have been developed for the estimation of harmonic coefficients from gradiometry data measured on board of GOCE-satellite. In this paper a special version of the space-wise method based on the second method of Neumann for fast determination of the harmonic coefficients <em>C<sub>nm</sub>, S<sub>nm</sub></em> of the Earth’s gravitational potential is given based on the radial gravity gradients of the EGG_TRF_2 product, except of two polar gaps filled by radial gradients from the EGM2008 gravity model. In the pre-processing stage GOCE-based second degree radial derivatives were averaged to the regular grid through Kalman static filter with additional Gaussean smoothing of residual radial derivatives. All computations are made by iterations. As the first step the determination of the preliminary NULP-01S<strong> </strong>model up to degree/order 220 derived from the Gaussean grid of the GOCE radial derivatives with respect to the WGS-84 reference field was developed based only one of the radial gradients EGG_TRF_2 in the EFRF-frame. In the second iteration the same algorithm is applied to build the NULP-02S gravity field model up to degree/order 250 using the same Gaussean grid with respect to the NULP-01S reference field. The NULP-02S model was verified by means of applying various approaches for the construction of the gridded gravity anomalies and geoid heights in the Black sea area using processing of datasets from six altimetry satellite missions. Comparison of different models with GNSS-levelling data in the USA area demonstrates the independent verification of achieved accuracy of the constructed NULP-02S Earth’s gravity field model.</p>

SUMMARY The goal of this contribution is to investigate the expected improvement of temporal gravity field determination via a couple of high-low satellite-to-satellite tracking (HLSST) missions. The simulation system is firstly validated by determining monthly gravity field models within situ GRACE GPS tracking data. The general consistency between the retrieved solutions and those developed by other official agencies indicates the good performance of our software. A 5-yr full-scale simulation is then performed using the full error sources including all error components. Analysis of each error component indicates that orbit error is the main contributor to the overall HLSST-derived gravity field model error. The noise level of monthly solution is therefore expected to reduce 90 per cent in terms of RMSE over ocean when the orbit accuracy improves for a magnitude of one order. As for the current HLSST mission consisting of a current GNSS receiver and an accelerometer (10−10 and 10−9 m s–2 noise for sensitive and non-sensitive axes), it is expected to observe monthly (or weekly) gravity solution at the spatial resolution of about 1300 km (or 2000 km). As for satellite constellations, a significant improvement is expected by adding the second satellite with the inclination of 70° and the third satellite with the inclination of 50°. The noise reduction in terms of cumulative geoid height error is approximately 51 per cent (or 62 per cent) when the observations of two (or three) HLSST missions are used. Moreover, the accuracy of weekly solution is expected to improve 40–70 per cent (or 27–59 per cent) for three (or two) HLSST missions when compared to one HLSST mission. Due to the low financial costs, it is worthy to build a satellite constellation of HLSST missions to fill the possible gaps between the dedicated temporal gravity field detecting missions.
