Four GRACE-based gravity models, especiallyEGM08,have been evaluated using the surface gravity observations, GPS-levelling, deflections of the vertical, and therecentCanadian gravimetric geoid CGG05. The RMSof the differences betweenthe EGM08-predicted gravity anomalies and the observed anomalies issmaller than 5 mGal onsea and lake surfaces, incontrast to about14mGalon landinCanada. TheRMS increases with increasing elevation on land, exhibiting anevidentheight-dependenttrend,while the RMS decreases withincreasing depth on sea and lake surfaces, withoutasignificanttrend.The GPS-levelling comparisons suggest thatEGM08 modelsthe geoid withanaccuracy of10cmor better inCanada. It is comparable withthe CanadianGravimetric Geoid 2005(CGG05). Recent releases of GRACE modelsshow noteworthyimprovementover earlier ones. The comparisons between the EGM08-predicted and astronomicaldeflections ofthe vertical show the RMS of 1.8arc-secondsinthe north-south direction, and2.1 arc-seconds inthe east-west direction, which are significantly larger than the RMS of differences between the CGG05-predicted and astronomical deflections .
