Low-frequency noise of GOCE gradiometer Thermal drift of the accelerometer from GOCE model It is difficult to assess the thermal stability of the accelerometer from the trace behaviour at low-frequency
Temperature stability in GOCE 1/f3 1/f3 1/f2 1/f3 1/f 1/f3
Bias thermal stability in GOCE Detector bias thermal sensitivity: 30 µV/K => 8.7 10-13 m/s2/K • Radiometer effect depends on: • pressure inside ASH (0.3 Pa) • temperature gradient at I/F Telec(f)=3.45 K/Hz1/2 x (1 mHz/f)2
Gradiometer core temperature 4 7 Y X 5 Z 6 Don’t take into account the radiative filtering to ASH Not representative at high frequency (accuracy of reading)
Electronic temperature FEEU1+ TA1 FEEU1+ TA2 FEEU1- TA1 FEEU1- TA2 FEEU1+/- TC Not representative at high frequency (accuracy of reading 12 bits)
Bias on GOCE Requirement NGGM: Bias < 210-7 m/s2 Bias along ultra-sensitive axis : 1.3 10-7 m/s2 (due to gold wire stiffness) Bias along ultra-sensitive axis : 1.2 10-5 m/s2 (due to gold wire stiffness)

Scale factor stability GOCE Performance vs NGGM requirement Need improvement of the ADC reference voltage stability Need improvement of the thermal stability and better CPD thermal sensitivity
Other concepts LS axis US axes GOCE with 2 ring-plates • Advantages: • Control of 2 angular motions with US • More redundancy (capability to controlangular motions with LS or US axes) • Disadvantages: • Weight of the proof-mass (if PtRh10) • Degradation of performance if lighter proof-mass (TBC) Radial (Z) Sat - Sat line (X) Cross-track (Y)
Other concepts Capacitance with surface variation • Advantages: • Perfectly linear in detection • Perfectly linear in action • Disadvantages: • Reduced range • Coupling with vertical motion • Use in Microscope accelerometer
