Abstract

For the analysis of the yield of a satellite gradiometry mission, different methods can be employed, see e.g. (Koop, 1993) or (Rummel et al., 1993). Most studies carried out so far rely on covariance propagation. In the present study full simulations are used to evaluate future missions like step. This gives the opportunity to investigate several effects in more detail than before.
