Glacier mass changes on the Tibetan Plateau 2003–2009 derived from ICESat laser altimetry measurements (2014, result): “Our results seem to be in contradiction to the findings of Jacob et al (2012) which showed an increase in mass from GRACE measurements between 2003 and 2010 on the TP.”
Deceleration in the Earth's oblateness (2013, background): “Based on global inversion of monthly GRACE-based gravity fields, Jacob et al. [2012] estimate that the average mass loss of the mountain glaciers contributes to an estimated rise in sea level of +0.41 0.08mm/yr for the period of 2003–2010 [Jacob et al., 2012].”
Non-renewable groundwater use and groundwater depletion: a review (2019, background): “…water storage changes Northern India and sur- rounding regions Tiwari et al (2009) 54 (±9) 2002–2008 GRACE-derived total terrestrial water storage changes Jacob et al (2012) 35 2003–2010 GRACE-derived total terrestrial water storage changes Bangladesh Shamsudduha et al (2012) 0.44 (±1.24)-2.04…”
GRACE-REC: a reconstruction of climate-driven water storage changes over the last century (2019, background): “, 2008), or the impact of anthropogenic climate change on land ice (Jacob et al., 2012).”
Continuity of the Mass Loss of the World's Glaciers and Ice Caps From the GRACE and GRACE Follow‐On Missions (2020, methodology): “3 of 11 following Jacob et al. (2012) and Gardner et al. (2013), we zero out locations (glacier areas) where the rates of enhanced water storage are unrealistically high.”
Climate change impacts in Latin America and the Caribbean and their implications for development (2017, background): “…glaciers are shrinking because of increased melt rates, decreased accumulation, changes in the ice dynamics and/or a combination of all these factors (Lopez et al. 2010; Ivins et al. 2011; Jacob et al. 2012; Marzeion et al. 2012; Giesen and Oerlemans 2013; Schaefer et al. 2013; Table ESM.1).”
The land ice contribution to sea level during the satellite era (2017, methodology): “For example, for High Mountain Asia (HMA; regions 13–15 in figure 1), the uncertainties due to land hydrology and solid-Earth processes are larger than the signal, which is also the case for several other smaller mountain ranges (Jacob et al 2012).”
High‐resolution CSR GRACE RL05 mascons (2016, methodology): “…kernels [Velicogna, 2009], applying destriping filtering and Gaussian filtering [Baur et al., 2009], harmonics fits to regional forward models in Greenland [Chen et al., 2011], Wiener optimal filtering [Sasgen et al., 2012], and harmonic solution fits to regional mascons [Jacob et al., 2012].”
Improved methods for observing Earth's time variable mass distribution with GRACE using spherical cap mascons (2015, methodology): “…other regions of the world that are glaciated (Svalbard, Scandinavia, Himalayas, etc.), constraints derived from GLDAS proved to be adequate for recovering mass variations in these regions, predominately because the ice signal is small [Jacob et al., 2012] relative to the regions we define as ice.”
Continuity of Ice Sheet Mass Loss in Greenland and Antarctica From the GRACE and GRACE Follow‐On Missions (2020, methodology): “…community to directly and comprehensively evaluate the mass balance of the Earth's ice sheets, glaciers, and ice caps on a monthly basis for the first time (Gardner et al., 2013; Jacob et al., 2012; Shepherd et al., 2018, 2019; Shepherd et al., 2012; Velicogna et al., 2014; Velicogna & Wahr, 2006).”
The solid Earth’s influence on sea level (2013, methodology): “I discretized this mass redistribution onto a 0.5° × 0.5° grid by distributing the mass loss for each glacial system of Jacob et al. (2012) into negative point loads for continental grid points within 100 km of each glacial system, and distributing corresponding positive point loads over all ocean…”
