8. GRACE may provide unprecedented ocean current data
The initial gravity model of the recently launched GRACE [Gravity
Recovery and Climate] mission has been combined with results
from satellite altimeter missions to study ocean surface currents.
The preliminary results from this effort provide a dramatic
improvement over previous observations. Tapley et al. show that
ocean topography data from the GRACE global gravity model
closely correspond with surface observations and note that, for the
first time, all major current systems can be clearly observed from
space. Previous satellite data produced a higher error level
