Data assimilation plays a dual role in advancing the “scientific” understanding and serving
as an “engineering tool” for the Earth system sciences. Land data assimilation (LDA) has …

Land 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) …

Abstract Launched in May 2018, the Gravity Recovery and Climate Experiment Follow‐On
mission (GRACE‐FO)—the successor of the erstwhile GRACE mission—monitors changes …

The scarcity of groundwater storage change data at the global scale hinders our ability to
monitor groundwater resources effectively. In this study, we assimilate a state‐of‐the‐art …

Satellite observations of the time-variable gravity field revolutionized the monitoring of large-
scale water storage changes, beginning with the 2002 launch of the Gravity Recovery and …

Groundwater storage and depletion fluctuations in response to groundwater availability for
irrigation require understanding on a local scale to ensure a reliable groundwater supply …

Globally, groundwater represents a critical natural resource that is affected by changes in
natural supply and renewal, as well as by increasing human demand and consumption …

This study quantifies the contribution of rivers and floodplains to terrestrial water storage
(TWS) variability. We use state‐of‐the‐art models to simulate land surface processes and …

A reanalysis is a physically consistent set of optimally merged simulated model states and
historical observational data, using data assimilation. High computational costs for modeled …

Accurate simulation of energy, water, and carbon fluxes exchanging between the land
surface and the atmosphere is beneficial for improving terrestrial ecohydrological and …
