AOC WithTLS Figure 9.6: Monthly estimates for the KBR APC vectors for the old model (brown), when using AOC covariance matrices (blue), and for the TLS estimate (pink), given in the SRF. The red∆cˆ=0 line indicates no deviation from the a priori calibrated APCs. The right margin shows a scaled kernel density estimate for the distribution of the coordinate estimates. Note that the plot scales are identical for the same coordinates on GRACE-A and GRACE-B, but differ between the x, y, and z-coordinates. Chapter9 Co-Estimation of Orientation Parameters138
