model-harmonics
Python tools for obtaining and working with model synthetic spherical harmonic coefficients for comparing with data from the the NASA/DLR Gravity Recovery and Climate Experiment (GRACE) and the NASA/GFZ Gravity Recovery and Climate Experiment Follow-On (GRACE-FO) missions
These are extension routines for the set of gravity-toolkit tools
