The GOCE L1b-L2 XML Parser is capable of importing data into existing applications, by transforming the products from Earth Explorers File (EEF) format into other common formats.

GOCE L1b-L2 XML Parser accepts the following GOCE product inputs:

Level 1b:

• EGG_NOM_1b Nominal Gradiometer product
• SST_NOM_1b Nominal SSTI instrument product
• STR_VC2_1b Star Tracker Quaternions product
• STR_VC3_1b Star Tracker Quaternions product

EGG and SST L1b nominal sub-products returned by the parser are:

• EGG_CCD_DS Internal calibrated Common and differential accelerations
• EGG_GGT_DS Gravity Gradient Tensor in GRF frame
• EGG_IAQ_DS Gradio internal attitude quaternions
• SST_COV_DS Cavariance Matrix
• SST_PVT_DS Clock Error and Position Vector.

Level-2:

• SST_PSO_2 Precise science orbits with quality report
• SST_AUX_2 SH coefficients for non-tidal temporal corrections
• EGG_NOM_2 L2 gravity gradients in GRF with corrections
• EGG_TRF_2 L2 gravity gradients in LNOF with corrections
• EGM_GOC_2 Final GOCE gravity field model with error estimates and quality report

L2 products may be converted into the following output formats:

• TIME GG FORMAT
• SPATIAL GG FORMAT
• SP3C FORMAT
• COVARIANCE FORMAT
• ROTATION MATRIX FORMAT
• ICGEM FORMAT
• GRID FORMAT
