GRACE and gravity mapping - update
Following the link I made yesterday it dawned on me I ought to collect some links while I remember to do so, here they are:
- the GRACE site at NASA
- a BBC Science article about this
- an Astonomy Picture of the Day (Nov. 2002) with some links
and a more recent one that is animated (Jul. 2003) - from University of Texas - good site with excellent animated GIFs
- and finally - a Google search for 'gravity map' - to find any more links you might want
