abstract = "{The spherical harmonic coefficient Level-2 products of the Gravity
Recovery and Climate Experiment (GRACE) mission are affected by
north-south stripe noise. Toward this end, we proposed a new
filter named Variational Mode Decomposition spatial (VMDS)
filter that transforms an equivalent water height (EWH) map
derived from GRACE Level-2 product into a 1-D sequence, which is
then filtered by using variational mode decomposition. This
approach overcomes the limitations of the singular spectrum
analysis spatial (SSAS) filter, which performs well in the
medium-frequency band but omits the high-frequency NSS noise.
Integrating the strengths of both, we developed a combined
filter termed SV by placing the VMDS filter behind the SSAS
filter. A closed-loop simulation demonstrates the better ability
of SV to suppress NSS noise and preserve signal at the grid
scale compared to the SSAS filter. In the real-world scenario,
the SV solution achieves a noise level (46.68 mm of EWH) below
that for SSAS and DDK7 solutions (53.52 and 53.68 mm of EWH,
respectively) over the ocean at low latitudes. Moreover, the
well-documented water level of Lake Victoria and the well-
modelled coseismic gravity change of the M$_{w}$9.2 2004
Sumatra-Andaman earthquake demonstrate that the SV filter
efficiently preserves localized mass evolutions while
suppressing north-south stripe noise. Such short-wavelength
signals are usually missed in highly filtered spherical
harmonics (e.g. DDK5 and DDK6) solutions or are significantly
inconsistent for various mass concentration solutions.}",
