GRACE / GRACE-FO Applications in Terrestrial Hydrology

Session ID#: 80807

Session Description:
The science utilization of Gravity Recovery and Climate Experiment (GRACE) satellite measurements has provided unique insights into the spatiotemporal variability of terrestrial water storage across regional, national, and global scales. However, there are still significant opportunities for new and innovative applications of GRACE for monitoring changes in water storage and the associated causes and impacts on the Earth system. This session invites presentations from studies that advance or enable the utilization of the 15+ year GRACE record and newly released GRACE Follow-On measurements in combination with models and/or observations to: 1) demonstrate utility in measuring changing water resources such as groundwater, soil moisture, or snow, 2) improve understanding of water cycle extremes such as droughts and floods, 3) advance numerical modeling and data assimilation applications, and 4) explore new interdisciplinary directions. Presentations on global to regional scales are encouraged, preferrably where publicly-available data exists for evaluation and cross-comparison.
