TL;DR: Analysis of 2002–2016 GRACE satellite observations of terrestrial water storage reveals substantial changes in freshwater resources globally, which are driven by natural and anthropogenic climate variability and human activities.

TL;DR: In this paper, a novel method is introduced for integrating satellite derived irrigation data and high-resolution crop type information into a land surface model (LSM) to improve the simulation of land surface states and fluxes through better representation of agricultural land use.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors quantified mean annual and monthly fluxes of Earth's water cycle over continents and ocean basins during the first decade of the millennium, using satellite measurements first and data-integrating models second.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors assimilated a state-of-the-art terrestrial water storage product derived from Gravity Recovery and Climate Experiment (GRACE) satellite observations into NASA's Catchment land surface model (CLSM) at the global scale, with the goal of generating groundwater storage time series that are useful for drought monitoring and other applications.

TL;DR: In this article, an objectively balanced observation-based reconstructions of global and continental energy budgets and their seasonal variability are presented that span the golden decade of Earth-observing satellites at the start of the twenty-first century.
