“…Among the various types of geophysical fluid loads (atmosphere, ocean, and cryosphere), hydrological loading often represents the dominant signal in the vertical component, especially at multiannual and shorter periods (e.g., Fritsche et al, ; Jiang et al, ). Accurate modeling of these effects in position time series is therefore beneficial for reliable long‐term surface velocity estimates (Klos et al, ; Santamaría‐Gómez & Mémin, ) and noise analysis (Bogusz & Klos, ; Davis et al, 2012; Santamaría‐Gómez et al, ), as well as studies of tectonic processes (Bennett, 2008; Blewitt & Lavallée, ; Bos et al, ; Vergnolle et al, ), volcanic processes (Henderson & Pritchard, ), geodynamics (Chanard et al, ; Clarke, ), sea level rise (Santamaría‐Gómez et al, ), geomechanics (Karegar et al, ), and reference frame definition (Collilieux et al, ; Krásná et al, ).…”
