     abstract = "{To compensate for the coarse resolution of groundwater storage (GWS)
        estimation by the Gravity Recovery and Climate Experiment
        (GRACE) satellites and make better use of available observed
        groundwater-level (GWL) data in some aquifers, a ground-based
        scaling factor (SF) method is proposed here to derive high-
        resolution GRACE GWS estimates. Improvement is achieved by using
        the gridded SF derived from assimilating ground-based GWL
        observations. The proposed SF method is tested on the North
        China Plain (NCP, {\ensuremath{\sim}}140,000 km$^{2}$), where a
        dense network of observation wells and a consistently estimated
        specific yield (SY) data set are available, to demonstrate its
        effectiveness and practical applications. The sensitivities of
        SF-estimated GWS accuracy to the specification of SY and the
        assimilation of GWL observation data are explored through four
        designed numerical experiments. Results show that this novel
        ground-based method can reduce the impact of SY uncertainty on
        GWS estimates, particularly in regions with more pronounced
        regional GWS trends. The accuracy of SF-estimated GWS is
        primarily determined by whether the assimilated wells can
        reflect the regionally averaged GWS trend. GWS accuracy is less
        dependent on the number of available wells assimilated. The
        estimated GWS trend (2004{\textendash}2015) in NCP is ‑32.6
        {\ensuremath{\pm}} 1.3 mm/yr (‑4.6 {\ensuremath{\pm}} 0.2
        km$^{3}$/yr), with contrasting GWS trends found in the west
        Piedmont Plain ({\ensuremath{\sim}}54,000 km$^{2}$, with a loss
        of ‑66.8 mm/yr) and the coastal Eastern Plain
        ({\ensuremath{\sim}}20,000 km$^{2}$, and a gain of +7.2 mm/yr).
        Despite the limitations of regional and time scale dependence
        inherent in SF method, this study highlights the benefits of
        assimilating in situ observed GWL data instead of using model
        simulations in estimating SF to downscale GRACE GWS to the
        higher-resolution that is desired by local water resources
        management.}",
