Explaining National Trends in Terrestrial Water Storage [PDF]

Frontiers in Environmental Science, 2019
Access to fresh water is critical for human well-being, economic activity and, in some cases, political stability. Data from the Gravity Recovery and Climate Experiment (GRACE) has been used to monitor variability and trends in total water storage.

Interdecadal variability of terrestrial water storage since 2003

Communications Earth & Environment
Earth’s water cycle is changing due to anthropogenic forcing and internal variations in the climate system. These changes are leading to an intensification of the water cycle that manifests as more frequent and stronger droughts in some areas, and ...

Using Satellite-Based Terrestrial Water Storage Data: A Review. [PDF]

Surv Geophys, 2023
AbstractLand water storage plays a key role for the Earth’s climate, natural ecosystems, and human activities. Since the launch of the first Gravity Recovery and Climate Experiment (GRACE) mission in 2002, spaceborne observations of changes in terrestrial water storage (TWS) have provided a unique, global perspective on natural and human-induced ...

Identifying ENSO-related interannual and decadal variability on terrestrial water storage. [PDF]

Sci Rep, 2021
AbstractWe apply two statistical techniques to satellite measurements to identify a relationship between terrestrial water storage (TWS) and El Niño-Southern Oscillation (ENSO). First, we modified and used the least-squares regression of a previous study using longer records.

More concentrated precipitation decreases terrestrial water storage. [PDF]

Nature
Terrestrial water availability is a key determinant of human and ecosystem well-being1,2. Apart from mean precipitation and evaporation changes3,4, it is unknown how daily-scale precipitation concentration into fewer, heavier events affects hydrologic partitioning and the land water balance5-9.

The importance of vegetation in understanding terrestrial water storage variations [PDF]

Hydrology and Earth System Sciences, 2022
So far, various studies have aimed at decomposing the integrated terrestrial water storage variations observed by satellite gravimetry (GRACE, GRACE-FO) with the help of large-scale hydrological models. While the results of the storage decomposition depend on model structure, little attention has been given to the impact of the way

New data sets to estimate terrestrial water storage change [PDF]

Eos, Transactions American Geophysical Union, 2007
The total amount of water stored in a river basin affects streamflow at various timescales and defines the river basin's response to atmospheric forcing. For example, spring runoff in mountainous midlatitude catchments depends on winter snowpack, and groundwater storage sustains flow during dry periods.

Validation of terrestrial water storage variations as simulated by different global numerical models with GRACE satellite observations [PDF]

Hydrology and Earth System Sciences, 2017
Estimates of terrestrial water storage (TWS) variations from the Gravity Recovery and Climate Experiment (GRACE) satellite mission are used to assess the accuracy of four global numerical model realizations that simulate the continental branch of the ...

Variations in China's terrestrial water storage over the past decade using GRACE data

Geodesy and Geodynamics, 2015
Variations in China's terrestrial water storage from March 2003 to February 2013 were determined using data from the Gravity Recovery and Climate Experiment (GRACE) monthly gravity field model provided by the Center for Space Research.

Assessment of drought trends in the Senegal River Basin by a terrestrial water storage index (GRACE) [PDF]

Central European Journal of Geography and Sustainable Development, 2022
Droughts lead to significant environmental and economic consequences, especially in arid and semi-arid areas like the Sahel. While site-level assessments of drought in the Sahel are abundant, assessments at the scale of entire hydrological basins are ...
