abstract = "{As observed by the Gravity Recovery and Climate Experiment (GRACE) and
GRACE Follow On (GRACE-FO) missions, global terrestrial water
storage (TWS), excluding ice sheets and glaciers, declined
rapidly between May 2014 and March 2016. By 2023, it had not yet
recovered, with the upper end of its range remaining 1 cm
equivalent height of water below the upper end of the earlier
range. Beginning with a record-setting drought in northeastern
South America, a series of droughts on five continents helped to
prevent global TWS from rebounding. While back-to-back El
Ni{\~n}o events are largely responsible for the South American
drought and others in the 2014{\textendash}2016 timeframe, the
possibility exists that global warming has contributed to a net
drying of the land since then, through enhanced
evapotranspiration and increasing frequency and intensity of
drought. Corollary to the decline in global TWS since 2015 has
been a rise in barystatic sea level (i.e., global mean ocean
mass). However, we find no evidence that it is anything other
than a coincidence that, also in 2015, two estimates of
barystatic sea level change, one from GRACE/FO and the other
from a combination of satellite altimetry and Argo float ocean
temperature measurements, began to diverge. Herein, we discuss
both the mechanisms that account for the abrupt decline in
terrestrial water storage and the possible explanations for the
divergence of the barystatic sea level change estimates.}",
