Abstract: Two satellites will soon be launched that can measure annual variations in the Earth's gravity due to mass changes equivalent to 1 cm of water over 250,000 km2— an area smaller than the Caspian Sea. This is gravity measurement of unprecedented accuracy. It will affect nearly all areas of study of the Earth, especially ocean dynamics, continental water-table variations, sea-level rise, glaciology, and postglacial rebound.
