Short summary
Satellite gravimetry enables direct measurement of total water storage (TWS), a capability that was previously unattainable. In this study, we present an open-source land data assimilation system with global hydrological model, which temporally, vertically, and laterally dis-aggregates satellite-based TWS. This study provides a practical framework establishing operational water management with current and future satellite gravity missions.
