     abstract = "{Accurate estimation of non-seasonal signals (NSSs) of Terrestrial Water
        Storage Anomaly (TWSA) from Gravity Recovery and Climate
        Experiment monthly gravity field models is essential for
        identifying and understanding extreme hydrological phenomena.
        However, significant north-south striped noise in the models
        necessitates spectral filtering before estimating NSSs,
        resulting in signal attenuation and leakage. In this paper, we
        propose a one-step approach (OSA) that iteratively filters noise
        and estimates NSSs alongside trends and seasonal signals
        starting from unfiltered regional TWSA signals, where the
        covariance matrices of NSSs are populated using distance-based
        exponential functions. The non-seasonal TWSA signals in
        Southeastern China, estimated by OSA from April 2002 to December
        2024, effectively preserves signal integrity with reduced
        spatial leakage and enhanced signal strength, aligning closely
        with those of the RL06 mascon products from CSR (Center for
        Space Research) and JPL (Jet Propulsion Laboratory), achieving
        Nash-Sutcliffe Efficiency (NSE) of 0.91 and 0.90. Moreover, we
        introduce a Standardized NSS (SNSS) index from OSA, which
        enhances the consistency with the standardized streamflow index,
        identifying the extreme wetness in pearl river basin (PRB) and
        Southeastern River Basin (SERB) from August 2015 to June 2016,
        and the extreme drought in Middle and Lower Yangtze River Basin
        (MLYRB) from July 2022 to April 2023. SNSS also exhibits
        enhanced correlations with nine key climate indices, especially
        for ENSO (El Ni{\~n}o-Southern Oscillation) and TIOS (Tropical
        Indian Ocean Sea Surface Temperature Anomaly), with cross-
        correlations of 0.99 and 0.96 for PRB, 0.97 and 0.94 for SERB
        during extreme wetness, and 0.96 and 0.90 for MLYRB during
        extreme drought.}",
