<p>GRACE and GRACE Follow-On (FO) Level 2 data provide quasi-monthly, band-limited estimates of Stokes (geopotential, spherical harmonic) coefficients mostly reflecting surface mass variability due to non-tidal atmosphere, ocean, and continental hydrology. &#160; &#160;<br>Although space gravimetry does not directly provide CM-related degree-1 Stokes coefficients, GRACE data have been successfully used over the years to complement time series of station positions from global space-geodetic (SG) network when inverting for Center-of-Mass to Center-of-Network (CM-CN) displacements (Wu et al, 2006).</p><p>Surficial mass variability observed through GRACE/GRACE-FO can be conveniently converted into load-induced (ENU) deformations at SG observing sites by adopting a spectral (i.e. load Love-number based) formalism and assuming Earth&#8217;s response is fully elastic and isotropic. GRACE-derived elastic displacements at observing sites would represent, if accurate, band-limited (degree 2 to 96, or higher if Mascon solutions are adopted) load-induced deformations that can be removed from SG-derived station displacements &#160;in order to more accurately recover degree-1 surface deformation signature (and therefore geocenter motion).&#160;</p><p>In this study, we adopt GRACE JPL Mascon RL06 data in conjunction with Preliminary Reference Earth Model-derived load Love numbers to infer elastic displacement at SG sites and remove them from SLR inherently geocentric time series of station positions.<br>In so doing, the residual SLR station displacements, consistently expressed in a geocentric frame, would in principle reflect a degree-1 deformation signature that can be recovered via either surface deformation (Chanard et al, 2018) or translational approach.</p><p>We will compare the SLR/GRACE (CM-CN) determined in this study to standard estimates of geocenter motion such as ILRS&#8217;s and JTRF2014&#8217;s estimated via translational approach and spectrally inverted solutions (CM-CF).</p><p>References<br>Chanard K et al, (2018).
