In order to avoid over parameterization of accelerometer calibration, the scale and deviation of the accelerometer were calibrated monthly and daily, Comprehensive considering the observation errors of orbit, inter-satellite range rate, attitude and accelerometer data to modify short arc method. Based on the modified short arc method, the 180 degree and order Tongji-Grace02s unconstrained static gravity field model is obtained by solving the GRACE satellite data (including accelerometer data, attitude data and inter-satellite range rate data) and geometric orbit data from January 2003 to July 2016, and further regularization constraint processing is performed on the high degree and order coefficients to obtain Tongji-Grace02k model.
