Satellite gravimetry is a remote-sensing-based method (used in GRACE and GRACE-FO) capable of observing all mass changes, in particular those caused by water storage changes, including in surface water, soil moisture, groundwater, as well as snow and ice. Terrestrial water storage (TWS) is expressed as an anomaly relative to its long-term mean in equivalent water heights in centimeters as an area-averaged height of the water column over the area being considered. The section on TWS in Annex 1 provides more details on TWS and how TWS anomalies were calculated.
