  source_file: This product is generated from monthly 1 degree GRACE Tellus CSR observations

  title: derived GRACE terrestrial water storage anomaly

  Approach: I simply read the monthly terrestrial water storage change from original file, interpolate the original 1x1 to 0.5x0.5, convert the uni from cm to kg/m2 (equivalent to mm) and separated the time series by a month and saved them by each month and each year.

  Temporal resolution: monthly

  General information: This product was derived from GRACE Tellus.

  Spatial resolution: 0.5x0.5 degree
