abstract = "{The elastic response of the Earth to ice melting due to global warming
is a prominent characteristic of Greenland and its rocky ice
sheet margins. This study investigates the deformation of the
Earth's surface caused by ice mass activities through time
series analysis of Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS)
stations and Gravity Recovery and Climate Experiment (GRACE)
satellite observations. We apply the modulated least squares
harmonic estimation (modulated LS-HE) method to model time-
variable amplitudes of periodic signals in the GNSS data. This
approach identifies harmonic frequencies and assesses the
accuracy of fitted models. The GNSS analysis reveals significant
amplitude variations of the annual harmonics in 2012 and 2019.
These annual variations can be mathematically modeled by
amplitude modulation of annual signal with a frequency of 0.2
cycles/year. GRACE-based ice-mass reconstructed patterns also
corroborate transient mass changes in 2012 and 2019. This
transient behavior can be best modeled by harmonic functions
with the frequencies of 0.2 cycles/year and 0.144 cycles/year.
Spatially, the transient signals are most pronounced in the
southern and western Greenland, particularly near stations with
large annual amplitude variations. An investigation of Greenland
Blocking Index (GBI) data points to atmospheric circulations as
drivers of these transient behaviors, linking regional climate
dynamics to ice-mass evolution and the corresponding elastic
displacements in Greenland.}",
