Discussion (1) Gravity variations o seasonal gravity variations from GRACE data are at the level of 3 8 µgal (cannot be reliably detected using the A10 020 measurements) o two linear trends (1) ascending trend from autumn 2008 to spring 2011 (2) descending trend from spring 2011 to summer/autumn 2015 observed in gravity variations obtained from the CSR and GFZ RL05 GRACEbased GGMs and the A10 020 measurements o gravity obtained from GOCO05s are monotonically ascending o the use of LH improve the fit between the estimated trends from the A10 020 measurements and the corresponding ones from RL05 GRACE-based GGMs
Discussion (2) Water mass variations o seasonal water mass variations pattern of δewt with maximum values in the spring months and minimum values in July-September o time series of δewt obtained from the CSR and GFZ RL05 GRACE-based GGMs as well as GLDAS hydrological models can be divided into two parts characterized with two different linear trends o δewt from the GOCO05s are monotonically ascending
Conclusions Time series of gravity obtained from the A10 020 measurements can be regarded as a valuable tool for the calibration/validation of the long term temporal gravity variations The A10 020 measurements seem not suitable for the monitoring of short term (seasonal) gravity variations main reason - insufficient accuracy (3 7 μgal) of the A10 020 measurements Inconsistency of spatial and temporal resolutions between GRACE-based GGMs and the A10-020 measurements is the limitation of this study For estimating temporal mass variations in the Earth system, the monthly RL05 GRACE-based GGMs are more suitable than time dependent GOCE/GRACEbased GGMs, e.g. GOCO05s GRACE data compared with GLDAS models in terms of EWT confirms the suitability of monthly RL05 GRACE-based GGMs to study the short term and long term temporal mass variations in the Earth system
