     abstract = "{The network effect is the error associated with the subsampling of the
        Earth surface by space geodetic networks. It is an obstacle
        toward the precise measurement of geocenter motion, that is, the
        relative motion between the center of mass of the Earth system
        and the center of figure of the Earth surface. In a
        complementary paper, we proposed a theoretical approach to
        estimate the magnitude of this effect from the displacement
        fields predicted by geophysical models. Here we evaluate the
        effectiveness of our estimate for two illustrative physical
        processes: coseismic displacements inducing instantaneous
        changes in the Helmert parameters and elastic deformation due to
        surface water movements causing secular drifts in those
        parameters. For the first, we consider simplified models of the
        2004 Sumatra-Andaman and the 2011 T{\={o}}hoku-Oki earthquakes,
        and for the second, we use the observations of the Gravity
        Recovery and Climate Experiment, complemented by an ocean model.
        In both case studies, it is found that the magnitude of the
        network effect, even for a large global network, is often as
        large as the magnitude of the changes in the Helmert parameters
        themselves. However, we also show that our proposed modification
        to the definition of the center of network frame to include
        weights proportional to the area of the Earth surface that the
        stations represent can significantly reduce the network effect
        in most cases.}",
