Abstract
The EGM2008 gravity model was evaluated using three techniques that assess the model performance on the modeling of satellite dynamics and the geoid accuracy over the ocean and land at different wavelengths. The tests include orbit tests with SLR and GRACE data, GPS leveling tests, and ocean circulation and marine geoid tests.
