     abstract = "{We evaluate simulations for single-, double- and multiple-pair satellite
        gravimetry missions with respect to applications in hydrology,
        sea level budgeting and solid Earth science. We begin with the
        retrieval of weekly spherical harmonic solutions from GRACE-FO
        and MAGIC-like intersatellite laser tracking in the presence of
        realistic aliasing, as well as from more distant scenarios that
        would involve flying quantum accelerometers on satellite pairs
        in various orbital planes of different inclination. To account
        for realistic applications, we simulate the impact of such data
        products in basin-averaged total water storage recovery, in the
        retrieval of water storages via assimilation into global and
        regional models, in global and regional ocean mass estimation
        also in combination with radar altimetry and in the monitoring
        of Earthquakes and submarine volcano growth. While we find that
        the MAGIC simulation provides the largest improvement step with
        respect to our GRACE-FO simulation, the more advanced scenarios
        add sensitivity in particular in applications where gravity and
        mass change data can be directly equated to observable
        phenomena. It is more challenging to judge the benefit of
        advanced missions with scientific applications that involve
        combination with model ensembles and additional remote sensing
        data, as their uncertainties may determine the noise floor and
        will need to be projected into the future, which we did not
        attempt at here.}",
