The GOCE User Toolbox GUT was originally developed for the utilisation and analysis of GOCE products to support applications in Geodesy, Oceanography and Solid Earth Physics. GUT consists of a series of advanced computer routines that carry out the required computations without requiring expert knowledge of geodesy. Hence, with its advanced computer routines for handling the gravity field information rigorously, GUT may support the MAGIC mission in developing Level-2 and Level-3 products.

In this presentation examples of GUT applications using recent models are presented. Various quantities associated with the gravity field are computed and inter-compared to assess the models and describe their capabilities. In addition, GUT tools for the computation of the dynamic ocean topography and the associated geostrophic surface currents are applied.
