GRACE/GRACE-FO Level-3 product based on GFZ RL06 Level-2B products (Dahle & Murböck, 2019) representing Terrestrial Water Storage (TWS) anomalies provided at 1° latitude-longitude grids as defined over all continental regions except Greenland and Antarctica. The TWS anomaly grids are provided in NetCDF format divided into yearly batches. The files each contain four different variables:
1) 'tws': gravity-based TWS2) 'std_tws': gravity-based TWS uncertainties3) 'leakage': spatial leakage contained in TWS4) 'model_atmosphere': background model atmospheric mass
These Level-3 products are visualized at GFZ's web portal GravIS (http://gravis.gfz-potsdam.de). Link to data products: ftp://isdcftp.gfz-potsdam.de/grace/GravIS/GFZ/Level-3/TWS
