dentifying the changes in terrestrial water storage is essential for a comprehensive understanding of the regional hydrological mass balance under global climate change. This study used a partial least square regression model to fill the observation gaps between GRACE and GRACE-FO and obtained a complete series of terrestrial water storage anomaly data from April 2002 to December 2020 from southeast China. We investigated the variations in terrestrial water storage anomalies in the region and the influencing factors. The study revealed that terrestrial water storage (TWS) anomalies have been increasing in the region, with an average increase of 0.33 cm/yr (p < 0.01). The intra-annual variation showed a positive anomaly from March to September and a negative anomaly in other months. Terrestrial water storage anomalies increased in most regions (especially in the central and northern parts), whereas they decreased in the southern parts. In terms of the components, the soil moisture storage (SMS) contributes 58.3% and the surface water storage (SWS, especially reservoirs water storage) contributes 41.4% to the TWS. The study also found that changes in the precipitation explain approximately 71.7% of the terrestrial water storage variation, and reservoirs contributes to the remaining 28.3%. These results are essential for understanding the changes in the hydrological cycle and developing strategies for water management in Southeast China.
