Terrestrial water balance
SLAND = P - E- R
Atmospheric water balance
W = E - P - divQ
Coupled land-atmosphere water balance
R = SLAND - W - divQ
SLAND: storage change (dS/dt)
P: precipitation
E: evaporation
R: discharge
W: precipitable water storage change (dW/dt)
divQ: horizontal water vapor divergence
•Previously had to assume that SLAND = 0 and apply at annual time scales
•Now we have SLAND so we can compute monthly time series

Significance of Pan-Arctic discharge estimates:
•Covers entire Pan-Arctic region, including ungauged regions
•Larger than previous scaled, gauge-based estimates for the equivalent time period
•Implications are that discharge is larger than could be anticipated by scaling up gauge measurement, or that discharge in that region is accelerating, or both

•Land-based and ocean-based estimates agree well
•Both are well within range of previous estimates
•Global water balance closure to about 5%
•Trend (0.5 mm/yr sea level equivalent) has implications for closing GMSLR budget

Interannual Variations and Trends in Terrestrial Hydrology from GRACE, 2002-2007
Annual Amplitude (cm) Trend (cm/yr)
•First global look at magnitude of water storage variations•Reveal important information on storage that is typically not captured by models: glacial melt, reservoir release, groundwater mining, etc.
• Important trends emerging•Data are ripe for understanding hydroclimatological variations as well as for data assimilation and for pointing to model enhancements

SGLOBAL = SOCEAN + SLAND + SICE + SATM = 0
We can now track ocean, land and ice changes using a single observing system

SOCEAN + SLAND + SICE + SATM = SGLOBAL = 0
Trends (mm/yr)
Ocean = 0.35 mm/yr
Land = 0.57 mm/yr
Greenland = -0.58 mm/yr
Antarctica = -0/34 mm/yr

Summary
•Groundwater storage changes from GRACE are feasible and will improve with improved ancillary data, e.g. remotely sensed snow, surface water and soil moisture.
•Freshwater discharge estimation from GRACE is currently the only observation-based way to estimate global discharge
•Emerging trends in continents and global land-ocean-ice demonstrate GRACE capabilities to monitor water storage changes from a single observing system and can help make the case for continuity in the mission
