Mass-related excitation of polar motion: an assessment of the new RL06 GRACE gravity field models

Abstract The new Release-06 (RL06) Gravity Recovery and Climate Experiment (GRACE) gravity field solutions are evaluated by converting them into equatorial effective angular momentum functions (so-called excitation functions) for polar motion and comparing these to respective time series based on sp...
