Hydrological Excitation of Polar Motion Derived from GRACE Gravity Field Solutions

Figure 1

Oceanic residual excitation (mask over continents) and hydrological excitation (mask over oceans) estimated by integrating GRACE equivalent water height grids. We observed a significant oceanic residual signal. Bars represent the calibrated errors provided by the GRGS.
