     abstract = "{GPS time series of vertical displacement include the elastic response of
        the Earth to a combination of regional and local loading signals
        arising from hydrologic mass transfer. The regional loading,
        controlled by seasonal, synoptic precipitation patterns,
        dominates the displacement of individual stations and is highly
        correlated among stations with separation distances from 10 to
        300 km. The local loading, controlled by small-scale
        precipitation and storage variability, has much shorter
        correlation lengths of <30 km. We develop a new method to
        separate the regional and local contributions using common mode
        analysis and show that GPS is capable of measuring the local
        hydrologic load changes at watershed scales of tens of
        kilometers. Using this methodology, GPS-measured displacement
        provides an integrated measurement of hydrologic load at a
        spatial scale between the existing long-wavelength resolution of
        the Gravity Recovery and Climate Experiment and point
        measurement resolution of a precipitation station. Thus, GPS
        time series record critical observations for monitoring
        integrated hydrologic budgets at scales useful for water
        management and assessment of the hydro-ecological response to
        climate change.}",
