Geophys. Res. 101 (C10) (1996) 25779] and the TOPEX/POSEIDON (T/P) altimeter, we have analyzed the effect of SSH variations on gravity observations.Keywords: annual variation; gravity anomaly; polar motion; sea surface height Annual gravity change; Effect of the sea surface height (SSH) variations; Polar motion effect; Steric effect; Superconducting gravimeterOn the observed annual gravity variation and the effect of sea surface height variations200110.1016/S0031-9201(00)00216-82015-12-10
