Visualization and Analysis Tools
The resources below provide complementary ways to work with GRACE and GRACE-FO data. Use the regional-analysis tools to examine mass change over selected areas, and the supporting tools to inspect mascon placement or explore gravity-field products.
Regional mass change
Analyze and compare mascon time series
These tools are intended for interactive analysis of mass changes over river basins and other user-selected regions.
NASA/JPL tool
JPL Data Analysis Tool
Analyze mass changes over river basins and other regions using JPL's online GRACE data analysis interface for CSR and JPL mascons.
Mascon comparison
GRACE TWS Analysis Portal
Compare CSR, JPL, and GSFC mascon products and analyze regional mass-change time series at www.gracetws.com.

CSR Mascon Placement Tool
Explore the native CSR mascon geometry and placement used in the CSR mascon solutions.
Desktop visualization software
NASA Panoply
Panoply plots geo-referenced and other arrays from netCDF, HDF, GRIB, and other scientific data formats. This cross-platform application runs on macOS, Windows, Linux, and other desktop systems, and can be used to visualize GRACE and GRACE-FO netCDF products from CSR and other processing centers.
