Abstract Long-wavelength components of the oceanic tides surrounding Antarctica are estimated directly from three years of GRACE satellite-to-satellite ranging measurements. An inversion is performed for the major constituents M2, O1, and S2, with K1 excluded because of inadequate phase sampling. The tides are parameterized as localized average mass anomalies over areas approximately 3002 km2; other parameters, including satellite state adjustments, are estimated simultaneously with the tides.
