Measuring Earth's Gravity Field: GOCE's 'Heart' Starts Beating
Description: GOCE's (Gravity field and steady-state Ocean Circulation Explorer) highly sensitive gradiometer instrument has been switched on and is producing data. Data from the GOCE will be used to create an extremely accurate map of Earth's gravity field. It will allow scientists to measure sea-surface height more accurately and understand sea-level change and ocean circulation better. [Source: ScienceDaily]
