AB: GRACE has provided estimates of vertically integrated water storage anomalies at monthly intervals with a useful spatial resolution of 300-500 km. While interesting in isolation, these data are perhaps most effectively applied in conjunction with other complementary datasets. In this presentation, we report on recent water balance studies combining GRACE data with in situ measurements of soil moisture, groundwater, and snow water equivalent.
