Cover Story: Time-variable gravity field models derived from observations of the joint US/German GRACE mission (2002–2017) enabled a multitude of studies of Earth surface mass transport processes related to climate change. The German Research Centre for Geosciences (GFZ), routinely processing and providing such monthly gravity fields, has reprocessed the complete GRACE mission data and released an improved monthly gravity field time series labeled GFZ RL06. This study provides an insight into the processing strategy of GFZ RL06 and describes the modifications relative to the precursor RL05a. Furthermore, the quality of the GFZ RL06 gravity field models is analyzed and discussed in comparison to RL05a. It is demonstrated that significant improvements of about 40% in terms of noise reduction have been achieved, as well as a better consistency of the time series and more realistic error estimates.
