image: Daily water storage (plotted as thickness of water disk at each grid node) inverted from the GPS data. The inversion results indicates a third of Harvey's total stormwater was captured and stored on land, most of which ~22 km3 accumulated in the Houston area peaking on September 1st . Stormwater across the Gulf coast took between 2-5 weeks to dissipate, with water. This material relates to a paper that appeared in the Sep. 19, 2018, issue of Science Advances, published by AAAS. The paper, by C. Milliner at California Institute of Technology in Pasadena, CA, and colleagues was titled, "Tracking the weight of Hurricane Harvey's stormwater using GPS data." view more
