Terrestrial water storage (TWS) changes within global endorheic and exorheic basins from GRACE observations, April 2002 to March 2016. (a) Trends in individual endorheic units, each comparable to the 3-degree mascon in size (~100k km2). No trends are calculated for sporadic endorheic regions (black) smaller than a mascon. (b) Monthly anomalies in endorheic (black) and exorheic (green) regions. (c) Deseasonalized anomalies (axes as in b). Error bars show 95% confidence intervals (CIs) of monthly anomalies induced by mascon data errors. Shadings illustrate 95% CIs for best-fit linear trends induced by both mascon and rescaling errors (see Methods for uncertainty analysis).
