Abstract
The Middle East is suffering from water scarcity in the arid/semiarid settings. The recent advance of technologies in the geophysical fields made groundwater monitoring possible from space. Time-variable gravity data and climatic model are utilized to monitor mass variations caused by groundwater changes over the Sinai Peninsula during the period 04/2002-07/2016.
Highlights
Terrestrial water storage (TWS) plays an important role in the climate system of the Earth [1]
The Global Land Data Assimilation System (GLDAS)-derived soil moisture storage (ΔSMS) variations were calculated by averaging the soil moisture estimates over the Sinai area
The value of the average TWS trend decreases from a low negative value of -4.25 mm/ yr at the western parts to a high negative value of -8.70 mm/yr at the northeastern parts of the study area (Figure 2e)
Summary
Terrestrial water storage (TWS) plays an important role in the climate system of the Earth [1]. Time-variable gravity, GLDAS, Terrestrial water storage, Depletion rate, Sinai Peninsula Land surface model are integrated with GRACE data to partition the TWS into its different components.
