“…They have been performed in different parts of the world using different processing procedure and different data sets, e.g. evaluations conducted by Ihde et al (2010) in Germany, Janak and Pitonak (2011) in Central Europe, Hirt et al (2011) worldwide, Šprlák et al (2012) in Norway, Guimarães et al (2012) in Brazil, etc. In Poland, the 1 st , 2 nd and part of 3 rd release of GOCE GGMs were evaluated with the use of the EGM08 and high-precision GPS/levelling data (Godah and Krynski, 2012). The estimated standard deviations of the differences between the obtained from GOCE models and truncated EGM08 model height anomalies and gravity anomalies were within the range of 4-11 cm, and 1-3 mGal, respectively, and differences between height anomalies obtained from GOCE models and the corresponding ones at highprecision GPS/levelling control traverse sites were within the range of 8-11 cm.…”
