=== Geodesy === Data from GRACE has improved the current [[Earth Gravitational Model|Earth gravitational field model]], leading to improvements in the field of [[geodesy]]. This improved model has allowed for corrections in the equipotential surface which land elevations are referenced from. This more accurate reference surface allows for more accurate coordinates of latitude and longitude and for less error in the calculation of geodetic satellite orbits.<ref>{{Cite web |url=http://www2.csr.utexas.edu/grace/gravity/geodesy.html |title=GRACE β Gravity Recovery and Climate Experiment |publisher=University of Texas Center for Space Research |access-date=21 March 2018}}</ref>
