However, the nearly one-year gap between GRACE and GRACE-FO has affected our ability to obtain continuous time-variable gravity data. In this study, we use the Singular Spectrum Analysis (SSA) method to fill the nearly one-year gap between the GRACE and GRACE-FO missions, as well as the gaps within the GRACE mission itself, to generate a continuous and complete mascon product from April 2002 to December 2022. These products are evaluated at the basin scale in Greenland, Antarctica, and ten river basins worldwide, as well as across oceans. The results show that our filled data can effectively recover seasonal and interannual signals and exhibit good consistency with previous reconstructions. The products provided in this study will benefit GRACE applications related to oceans, glaciers, and terrestrial water storage.展开更多
