        to separating sources contributing to mass displacements.
        Improved vertical precision in GPS positioning at stations for
        velocity fields is key to resolving the mechanism of certain
        geophysical phenomena. In this paper, we use ensemble empirical
        mode decomposition (EEMD) to analyze the daily GPS time series
        at 89 continuous GPS stations, spanning from 2002 to 2013. EEMD
        decomposes a GPS time series into different intrinsic mode
        functions (IMFs), which are used to identify different kinds of
        signals and secular terms. Our study suggests that the GPS
        records contain not only the well-known signals (such as semi-
        annual and annual signals) but also the seldom-noted quasi-
        biennial oscillations (QBS). The quasi-biennial signals are
        explained by modeled loadings of atmosphere, non-tidal and
        hydrology that deform the surface around the GPS stations. In
        addition, the loadings derived from GRACE gravity changes are
        also consistent with the quasi-biennial deformations derived
        from the GPS observations. By removing the modeled components,
        the weighted root-mean-square (WRMS) variation of the GPS time
        series is reduced by 7.1\% to 42.3\%, and especially, after
        removing the seasonal and QBO signals, the average improvement
        percentages for seasonal and QBO signals are 25.6\% and 7.5\%,
        respectively, suggesting that it is significant to consider the
        QBS signals in the GPS records to improve the observed vertical
        deformations.}",
