“…Analysis of TWS GRACE time series and other relevant time series has been successfully used in many hydrological and climatological studies including management of water resources [5,7,8,[23][24][25][26][27][28][29], and analysis, prediction, and forecasting of climate change and variability in climatic (e.g., rainfall, evapotranspiration, and wind speed), and hydrologic (e.g., stream flow, flood, drought, infiltration, recharge, and ground/surface water quantity, quality, and consumption) parameters [30][31][32][33][34][35][36]. The successful implementation of these analyses heavily relies on the availability of comprehensive, continuous, and uninterrupted time series records [37,38].…”
