     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 2014-2016 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.}",
