Abstract Version History:15 June 2020:Initial release of the data. Note that the initial version number is 0002 in order to reflect the consistent data processing of this data set and Version 0002 of the data set Boergens et al. (2019, http://doi.org/10.5880/GFZ.GRAVIS_06_L3_TWS). --- GRACE/GRACE-FO Level-3 product based on COST-G RL01 Level-2B products (Dahle & Murböck, 2020) representing Terrestrial Water Storage (TWS) anomalies provided at 1° latitude-longitude grids as defined over all continental regions except Greenland and Antarctica. The TWS anomaly grids are provided in NetCDF format divided into yearly batches. The files each contain four different variables:1) 'tws': gravity-based TWS2) 'std_tws': gravity-based TWS uncertainties3) 'leakage': spatial leakage contained in TWS4) 'model_atmosphere': background model atmospheric massThese Level-3 products are visualized at GFZ's web portal GravIS (http://gravis.gfz-potsdam.de).
