By: Abigail L. S. Swann, Charles D. Koven

JournalJournal of Hydrometeorology

Abstract:

Fig. 1. Precipitation and basin used in this analysis. Maps showing (a) the annual mean precipitation (mm yr-1) and (b) the length of the dry season (months) where blue colors indicate wetter conditions and red and brown colors indicated drier conditions. An outline of the basin used in this analysis—the Amazon basin upstream of the gauging station at Óbidos—is shown in the black outline. Red markers indicate the location of four flux towers near the region from Wu et al. (2016).


Fig. 2. Comparison between terms derived from S using monthly mean values and those derived using storage interpolated to a daily scale using a spline. (a) Parameter S as directly reported monthly means (blue) vs interpolated to daily values using a spline (red); (b) the derivative of S (dS/dt) taken using the derivative of the daily interpolated S (cyan) and via a centered finite difference of the monthly values (darker blue); and (c) the estimated ET from the water budget approach using rainfall fromTRMM, with dS/dt de-rived using daily interpolated values of S (darker green) vs dS/dt derived via a centered finite difference of monthly mean values of S (lighter green).


Fig. 3. Full time series and seasonal climatology of the Amazon basin–averaged water budget terms (mm yr-1). The (a) time series and (b) seasonal climatology of each component of the water budget and the estimated ET calculated from Eq. (1) (ETGRACE), where precipitation and its range is shown in gray-blue, the change in storage over time (dS/dt) is shown in bright blue, runoff is shown in brown, and ETGRACE and its range is shown in gray.


Fig. 4. Comparison of the climatological seasonal cycle of estimated ET from several sources. (a) The range of estimates of ETGRACE using four precipitation datasets in different colors (TRMM, GPCP, GPCC, and CRU) and two finite difference approaches, with ET derived from a finite backward difference of storage interpolated to a daily scale (solid lines) and derived using a finite centered difference using monthly mean values of storage (dashed lines). Gray shading indicates the total range encompassed by all eight estimates. The climatological seasonal cycle of ETGRACE (gray line, with range in gray shading) is compared with (b) other ET products and (c) models. (d) Comparison of ETGRACE (gray) with flux-tower-based measurements and products including theFLUXNET-MTE product (mauve) and four flux towers near the region from Wu et al. (2016) (locations shown in Fig. 1). (e) The normalized seasonal cycle (in units of stddev) for each of the climatologies shown in (b)–(d).


Fig. 5. Time series of all available data between 2002 and 2016 for ET estimated using four different categories of methods. (a) ET estimated using a water budget approach (ETGRACE; solid line), estimated range of uncertainty (gray shading), and Monte Carlo–estimated regression (slope of -1.46 mm yr-1,CI from -2.4 to -0.51 mm yr-1). (b) ET estimated using several different energy budget type approaches (see legend). (c)ET estimated from site-level data from eddy covariance towers upscaled with satellite data. (d) ET estimated from land surface models forced with the same meteorology from the TRENDY model project.


Fig. 6. ET estimates for all years of available data for ETGRACE (gray lines and shading) compared with upscaled site-level data (a)FLUXNET-MTE, and energy budget products (b) MOD16, (c) ET-M, (d) BESS, (e) P-LSH, and (f) JF-ET.


Fig. 7. The seasonal cycle of ETGRACE (gray line and shading) compared with the seasonal cycle in downwelling shortwave radiation (SW down; orange) and SIF (green). Estimated potential ET based on SW down (orange) is shown by the rightmost y axis.

JournalJournal of Hydrometeorology

Abstract:

Fig. 1 Global patterns 29 40867 29 12198 0 0 8090 0 0:00:05 0:00:01 0:00:04 8104 of the GRACE-DSI, PDSI-Z and SPEI-Z drought metrics at selected timescales (1, 3, 6, 9, 12, 15, 24, and 36 months) for July 2010.


Fig. 2 Time series of the GRACE-DSI (red), PDSI-Z (black), and SPEI-Z (blue) at selected timescales at four locations annotated with 350km radius footprints in the top panel. The geographic coordinates are (46E, 54N), (72W, 8S), (38E, 0S), and (116E, 44N) for locations 1 to 4, respectively. Note that the GRACE-DSI are the same for all plots in the same location. Error bars on GRACE-DSI represent the GRACE-DSI uncertainty due to GRACE measurement and leakage errors. Pearson correlation coefficient of each comparison is shown on top of each plot. Correlation coefficient larger than 0.17 is significant at 95% confidence level.


Fig. 3 (a) is the correlation between monthly GRACE-DSI and PDSI-Z. (b) – (i) are correlations between monthly GRACE-DSI and SPEI-Z at time-scales of 1, 3, 6, 12, 18, 27, 36, and 48 months, respectively. (j) is the maximum correlation between monthly GRACE-DSI and SPEI-Z at various time scales. (k) is the time scale of SPEI-Z in which the maximum correlation in (j) is recorded. Insignificant correlation coefficients (p>0.05) are masked out in panels (a-j).


Fig. 4 Time series of GRACE-DSI (red), satellite-retrieved SM-Z (yellow), and NDVI-Z (green) for two locations in mainland Australia annotated with 350km footprints in the land cover map (a). (b) is for location 1 (27S, 121E) in west Australia and (c) is for location 2 (28S, 148E) in east Australia. Time series are smoothed using a quadratic polynomial filter with a 13-month window (Savitzky and Golay 1964). Uncertainties of these satellite records are shaded in corresponding colors. The errors of SM-Z and NDVI-Z are estimated conservatively in a similar manner as the GRACE-DSI considering both measurement error and leakage error.


Fig. 5 Global distribution of GRACE-DSI uncertainty in drought category excluding the Antarctic, Greenland, and barren grounds.


Fig.6 (a) is the time scale by which NDVI-Z achieves maximum correlation coefficient with SPEI-Z. (b) is the Australia sub-region in Fig. 3k, i.e., the time scale by which GRACE-DSI achieves maximum correlation coefficient with SPEI-Z. Note that a large area of (b) saturates at time scales over 20-months. Corresponding maximum correlation coefficients are significant at 99% confidence level for both plots.

JournalHydrology and Earth System Sciences

Abstract:






Fig. 1. (a) The spatial distribution of various land use types across Australia and (b) the area covered by each land use type.


Fig. 2. An example of a wavelet decomposition from a cell in central South Australia (29 S, 136 E). Note the visible trends in the approximations (A1–A4), which are normalised in the details (D1–D4).


Fig. 3. The structure of a wavelet decomposition; decomposition levels used in this study are highlighted in red.


Fig. 4. (a) The r values of the relationship between the raw TWS and NDVI. (b) The r values of the relationship between the de-composed TWS and NDVI. (c) A scatter plot of the r values of both relationships shows a clear improvement in the results when the decomposed data are used.


Fig. 5. An example of the time series from a single cell. The new estimate uses the coefficients from A40, A46, and D4 as selected by the stepwise regression. Pearson’s coefficient (r) between the decomposed 
GRACE estimate and NDVI 
is 0.872, compared with 0.665 when using raw GRACE TWS.


Fig. 6. Patterns of the coefficients for each decomposition level. For D1 and D2, no lags are used; for these, red represents a positive coefficient and blue represents a negative coefficient. For D3L, D4L, and A4L (which include lags), red represents cells where all coefficients are positive and blue represents cells where at least one lag had a negative coefficient.


Fig. 7. The variable with the highest relative weight in the regression for each cell across Australia. A4 is the most dominant; however D2 is prominent in distinct areas throughout central Australia. D1, D3L, and D4L all occur but with little spatial coherence.


Fig. 8. The relative weight of each decomposed TWS for each land use type. Forests are A4L dominated; shrublands, savannas and grasslands are very similar with relative equal weights of D1, D2, and A4L and agricultural land is dominated by D2 and A4L.

Fig. 3. Principal component analysis (PCA)-derived spatial and temporal patterns of terrestrial water storage (TWS) variability (with annual and semiannual signals removed) over the Volta River basin. (a,b) are spatial patterns of the first two modes derived from PCA; (c,d) are corresponding temporal patterns. The percentages of the total variance explained by the first two principal components are 30.9% and 20.7%, respectively.


Fig. 4. GRACE water storage changes and satellite altimetry water level changes for Lake Volta. Both time series in (a,b) have an increasing (2007–2010) and declining (2011–2015) rate; (c) is the comparison between GRACE and satellite altimetry at long-term time scale. We have removed the annual and semi-annual signals using least squares fitting. Please notice the different y-axis scales used in (c).


Fig. 5. Global Precipitation Climatology Centre (GPCC) monthly precipitation over the Volta River basin with the climatologic average removed. The climatological precipitation is calculated by averaging the monthly precipitation of all the same months over a certain period (e.g., the 20-year period from January 1996 to December 2015). The red line is the nonseasonal precipitation anomaly smoothed with a Butterworth low-pass (below 0.5 cpy) filter.

Fig. 10. Residuals between observed and apparent mass rates in Fig. 8.


Fig. 11. GRACE water storage changes (equivalent water volume) with leakage correction and satellite altimetry water volume changes for Lake Volta. The red curve can be obtained by multiplying the red curve in Figure 4c with both scale factor (~41.3) and the area of lake mask. The blue curve is the product of altimetry water level change (blue curve in Figure 4c) with estimated lake area. Please notice that the y-axis scale in this figure is the same for GRACE and satellite altimetry data.

By: Yu Sun, Pavel Ditmar, Riccardo Riva.

Journal: Geophysical Journal International.

Abstract:


Fig. 1. Oceanic mass anomalies updates at different iterations. In panels (a)–(d), we show the updates for iteration 1 (RMS: 2 mm; maximum value: 6 mm), iteration 2 (RMS: 0.4 mm; maximum value: 0.8 mm), iteration 3 (RMS:0.08 mm, maximum value: 0.2 mm) and iteration 4 (RMS: 0.01 mm, maximum value: 0.03 mm), respectively.


Fig. 2.Uncertainty of oceanic mass anomalies. (a) The RMS error of OBP predictions. (b) The RMS error of fingerprints. (c) Total RMS error obtained with eq. (9).


Fig. 3.Actual error, actual RMS error (ARE) and approximated actual RMS error (approx. ARE) for one realization of synthetic C10 coefficients. The actual errors are obtained as the differences between the resulting C10 time-series and the synthetic truth. ARE is then obtained as the RMS difference, which is shown as a grey band (the upper and lower bound of the grey band is then ± ARE).


Fig. 4. Combined ARE, combined FRE and combined approximated ARE as functions of the scaling factor. The grey band along the combined approximated ARE curve shows its STD from 10 GSM realizations. Note that the parameter setup is as follows: truncation degree: 50, buffer zone width: 200 km.


Fig. 5. The RMS errors (average over 10 simulated GSM solutions) for resulting degree-1 and C20 coefficient time-series (in mm of equivalent water height). Results for C10, C11, S11 and C20 are presented in panels (a)–(d), respectively. The thick grey lines show the results of the GRACE-OBP-Swenson approach. The dashed grey lines indicate solutions based on the GRACE-OBP-Improved approach considering SAL effects and using a 200 km buffer zone.



Fig. 6.The same as Fig. 5, but the unified quality indicator is shown instead of RMS errors per coefficient.


Fig. 7.The mean annual amplitudes of the GSM degree-1 and C20 time-series (mm EWH) estimated using different implementation parameters, based on 10 sets of simulated GSM solutions. The standard deviations of amplitude estimates (based on 10 sets of GSM solutions) are indicated by light coloured bands. The true amplitudes are marked in all panels as black horizontal lines. Results for C10, C11, S11 and C20 are shown in panels (a)–(d), respectively.


Fig. 8. The same as Fig. 7, but for the annual phases.


Fig. 9. The same as Fig. 6, but the quality indicator for annual variations is shown instead of quality indicator for RMS error.


Fig. 10.Combined FRE and combined approximated ARE as functions of the scaling factor. Note that the parameter setup is as follows: truncation degree: 50, buffer zone width: 200 km.


Fig. 11. Final solutions for degree-1 and C20 time-series (a), their formal error estimates (b) and correlation coefficients (c) based on the combination approach. In panel (a), linear trends are removed. Results are offset for clarity. The coloured bands show the 2-σ uncertainties. The black dashed line shown in panel (b) (denoted as ‘Swenson et al.’) is taken from the official product based on (Swenson et al. 2008) (see the text).


Fig. 12. Mass variations in the validation area at East Antarctica. In panel (a), we show the signal RMS in terms of equivalent water heights. The study area is indicated with a red polygon (45E/120E/76S/84S). Panel (b) shows RMS values of mass anomaly time-series as a function of truncation degree. Panels (c) and (d) show the mean mass anomaly per calendar month. The shadowed colour bands indicates the spread of the monthly mass anomalies. Note that the calendar month 0 represents December of the previous year. In panel (c), we show the results based on the GRACE solutions after replacing the C20 coefficients with those from independent approaches. In panel (d), we show results when the GRACE solutions are further complemented with degree-1 coefficients based on different approaches.


Fig. 13.Same as Fig. 12, but showing mass transport in the validation area at the Sahara Desert (6W/30E/15N/30N).
