Monthly time-series data of individual terrestrial water stores including groundwater storage from GRACE (Gravity Recovery and Climate Experiment) satellites and GLDAS Land Surface Models for the world's large aquifer systems (NERC NE/M008932/1)

Monthly anomalies (August 2002 to July 2016) of total terrestrial water storage (TWS), soil moisture storage (SMS), surface water storage (SWS), snow water storage (SNS), groundwater storage (GWS) derived from an ensemble mean of 3 gridded GRACE products (CSR, JPL-Mascons and GRGS) and an ensemble mean 4 land surface models (CLM, NOAH, VIC and MOSAIC), provided by the NASA’s Global Land Data Assimilation System (GLDAS). Monthly precipitation (CRU) data, derived from the Climatic Research Unit (CRU), were aggregated over each aquifer system. GRACE, GLDAS and CRU datasets are publicly available at the global scale. (NERC grant NE/M008932/1)

Supplemental Information
All gridded data were aggregated over the 37 large global aquifer systems according to the World-wide Hydrogeological Mapping and Assessment Programme (WHYMAP) Geographic Information System (GIS) database (BGR and UNESCO, 2008). The WHYMAP network, led by the German Federal Institute for Geosciences and Natural Resources (BGR), serves as a central repository and hub for global groundwater data, information, and mapping with a goal of assisting regional, national, and international efforts toward sustainable groundwater management (Richts et al., 2011).

Statement
Gridded (1 deg x 1 deg), global-scale datasets (GRACE, GLDAS and CRU) were aggregated by taking the mean of the time-series data for the 37 large aquifer systems from the World-wide Hydrogeological Mapping and Assessment Programme (WHYMAP) database. Data were processed in R programming language. Detailed methodologies can be found in Shamsudduha et al. (2017) and Kolusu et al. (2018).
