    “Endorheic (hydrologically landlocked) basins spatially concur with arid/semi-arid climates. Given limited precipitation but high potential evaporation, their water storage is vulnerable to subtle flux perturbations, which are exacerbated by global warming and human activities. Increasing regional evidence suggests a probably recent net decline in endorheic water storage, but this remains unquantified at a global scale. By integrating satellite observations and hydrological modelling, [they] reveal[ed] that during 2002–2016 the global endorheic system experienced a widespread water loss of about 106.3 Gt/yr, attributed to comparable losses in surface water, soil moisture and groundwater. This decadal decline, disparate from water storage fluctuations in exorheic basins, appears less sensitive to El Niño–Southern Oscillation-driven climate variability, which implies a possible response to longer-term climate conditions and human water management. In the mass-conserved hydrosphere, such an endorheic water loss not only exacerbates local water stress, but also imposes excess water on exorheic basins, leading to a potential sea level rise that matches the contribution of nearly half of the land glacier retreat (excluding Greenland and Antarctica). Given these dual ramifications, [they] suggest the necessity for long-term monitoring of water storage variation in the global endorheic system and the inclusion of its net contribution to future sea level budgeting…”

  3. Low Snow Reserves – again.

    Switzerland heads into spring with 30–60 % of normal snowpack. Less melt = less groundwater recharge. Rain gauges won't show you what's underground. Direct measurement will.

  5. The calculated soil moisture anomaly for the US shows extremely dry conditions across the eastern US. The soil moisture is lowest across eastern Texas to northwestern Mississippi and also in southwest Georgia.

    With spring planting to begin soon, more moisture is needed for crop germination.

  9. Soil Moisture and Vegetation are Key Predictors of Precipitation-driven Groundwater Recharge Occurrences in Southeastern Australia

    Akhilesh Kumar has the first output from his PhD research available as a preprint:
    papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers.cf

    These are his words:

    "I am excited to share the first results from my PhD. The study looked at important predictors of groundwater recharge occurrences.

    The hydrogeologist community mostly agrees on variables that are important for predicting when groundwater recharge happens but what we are less certain about is the extent of how important these variables are and even less so on if there is a cause-and-effect relationship between them and recharge occurrences.

    In this study we investigated the correlation, mutual as well as causal aspects of this relationship and found that soil saturation and vegetation are strongest predictors while rainfall is strong predictor at 6-7 days of cumulative accumulation.

    A big thank you to the NGROS team for their valuable contributions and to my co-authors!!! 🙌 "

  15. The calculated soil moisture ranking percentile map for September 21 shows unusually dry areas in parts of the West, Northeast, Southeast, and Midwest. Areas in the Plains and Michigan's UP are extremely wet.

  19. I will not be at #LPS25, Europe's largest 🛰️ Earth Observation conference, in Vienna this week.

    But many of my good friends and colleagues will, including those from @osi_saf , #CCI (Climate Change Initiative), and #CIMR (the future satellite in my profile banner). Catch many of them at the #SeaIce session, but also #SoilMoisture and #SMOS15 sessions.

    Enjoy the conference, while I enjoy some early vacation in Grenoble 😅.
