Abstract

SUMMARY Seven years of GRACE intersatellite range-rate measurements are used to test the new ocean tide model FES2014 and to compare against similar results obtained with earlier models. These qualitative assessments show that FES2014 represents a marked improvement in accuracy over its earlier incarnation, FES2012, with especially notable improvements in the Arctic Ocean for constituents K1 and S2. Degradation appears to have occurred in two anomalous regions: the Ross Sea for the O1 constituent and the Weddell Sea for M2.
