Hydrological Excitation of Polar Motion Derived from GRACE Gravity Field Solutions
Figure 7
Intraseasonal variations spectrum computed from the geodetic residuals (G-A-O), GRACE, CPC, and GLDAS-based excitations. Data sets are interpolated with an uniform sampling of 10-days. GRACE observations provide more power than hydrological models, especially in the prograde and retrograde bands around the frequency of 3 cycles per year.
