Description: This dataset provides decadal changes in total terrestrial water storage (TWS) across global endorheic basins, as observed by the Gravity Recovery and Climate Experiment (GRACE) satellites from April 2002 to March 2016. GRACE observations applied here are monthly equivalent water thickness (EWT) anomalies in the JPL 3-degree equal-area mason solution (JPL-RL05M version 2). Endorheic basin extents are acquired from the 15-second HydroSHEDS drainage basin dataset, with regional supplement of the Global Drainage Basin Database (GDBD). The global endorheic basins cover a total area of 33.7 million square kilometers, ranging from 52.8º S to 62.0º N and from 122.8º W to 157.6º E. TWS changes are calculated at two enumeration scales: 173 endorheic units and 10 endorheic zones (including Western North America, Dry Andes and Patagonia, Sahara and Arabia, Great Rift Valley and Southern Africa, Australia, Central Eurasia, and four secondary zones in Central Eurasia: the Caspian Sea Basin, the Aral Sea Basin, the Inner Tibetan Plateau, and Other Central Eurasia). At the unit scale, we provide 1) the trend of deseasonalized TWS anomalies from April 2002 to March 2016 and, 2) the trend uncertain (one standard deviation) propagated from the inherent errors in the original mascon data and the residuals of the best-fit linear trend fitting. At the zonal scale, we provide detailed monthly time series of 1) TWS anomalies (both original values and deseasonalized values) and 2) TWS uncertainties propagated from the inherent mason errors and rescaling uncertainties due to signal leakage in fringe mascons.
