Mass variations induced by ocean tide oscillations (TiME21)

DOI

This data publication presents global mass variations that are induced by individual ocean partial tides. The data set was produced using the purely-hydrodynamical ocean tide model TiME in the framework of the DFG-project Nerograv\ (https://www.lrg.tum.de/iapg/nerograv/) and can be used for gravimetric applications. The overall goal of this project is to improve the processing of gravimetric data sets (e.g. GRACE/GRACE-FO) by improving the understanding of sensor data, processing strategies, and background models. The here presented DOI can contribute to this goal as the here described tidally induced mass variations are an important part of the described background models.

As ocean tides are usually described as a superposition of so-called partial tides, the presented mass variations can be attributed to single partial tide frequencies and are thus represented for single partial tide frequencies. Here, not only the effect of direct gravitation exerted by the ocean water is included but also gravity variations due to the elastic yielding of the solid earth in response to water mass redistribution (the load tide) are allowed for.

The information describing the partial tides has been transformed to fully normalized Stokes Coefficients describing in-phase and quadrature fields as those are especially handy for gravimetric purposes. The next section describes the creation of the data in more detail.
