More concentrated precipitation decreases terrestrial water storage

Data TWS data come from the GRACE and GRACE-FO mass concentration solutions (RL06) developed by the Center for Space Research at the University of Texas 25 . The dataset represents monthly total water mass variations (expressed as equivalent water height) at a gridded resolution of 0.25°. We omit data before August 2002 (due to sensor calibration at the outset of the GRACE mission) and for water-year 2017 (due to incomplete data during the mission gap between GRACE and GRACE-FO). …
