Total water storage extremes index from GRACE and GRACE-FO missions

Total water storage extremes index from GRACE and GRACE-FO missions • TWS: total water storage is the sum of (Soil moisture+ surface water+snow water equivalent+glaciers+groundwater) • Data based on GRACE and GRACE-FO missions estimates of TWS GRACE/GRACE-FO - Gravity Recovery and Climate Experiment (utexas.edu) Contents of Netcdf • “lon”: longitudes • “lat”: latitudes • “time” Days since 2002_01_01 • “TWS_Extremes_unit_mm” is the extreme change in the total storage relative to the normal climatology between 2002/04 and 2021/08. with unit mm • “TWS_Extremes_index” Index of the extremes (unitless); Positive values: above normal storage changes (Floods) Negative values: below normal storage changes (Droughts) • Data range: 04/2002 – 08/2021
