AB: The release of GRACE science products (Level-2) and associated data products (Level-1B) took place on August 9, 2004. To support this activity this poster illustrates the process flow employed at the University of Texas, Center for Space Research (UTCSR) for the steps encompassing: ingesting, analyzing, calibrating, processing, verifying and the exporting associated with these products. The interested reader will be able to see a graphical representation of how the GRACE mission sensor and measurement data flow though the interconnected analysis processes which constitute the UTCSR Science Data System (SDS). This will provide a clearer understanding of the procedures used in generation of the GRACE science data products. Side notes, providing representative data characterizations and processing statistics, are included for illustration.
