As in situ level measurements are generally not sufficiently available for monitoring groundwater changes at the regional-scale, this unique dataset, combined with external information, is widely used to quantify the interannual variations of groundwater storage in the world\u2019s major aquifers. GRACE-based groundwater changes revealed significant aquifer depletion over large regions, such as the Middle East, the northwest India aquifer, the North China Plain aquifer, the Murray-Darling Basin in Australia, the High Plains, and the California Central Valley aquifers in the United States of America (USA), but were also used to estimate groundwater-related parameters such as the specific yield, which relates groundwater level to storage, or to define the indices of groundwater depletion and stress. In this review, the approaches used for estimating groundwater storage variations are presented along with the main applications of GRACE data for groundwater monitoring. Issues that were related to the use of GRACE-based TWS are also addressed.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/rs10060829","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2018,5,28]],"date-time":"2018-05-28T03:54:21Z","timestamp":1527479661000},"page":"829","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":280,"title":["Monitoring Groundwater Storage Changes Using the Gravity Recovery and Climate Experiment (GRACE) Satellite Mission: A Review"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"10","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-4661-8274","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Fr\u00e9d\u00e9ric","family":"Frappart","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"G\u00e9osciences Environnement Toulouse (GET), UMR 5563, CNRS\/IRD\/UPS, Observatoire Midi-Pyr\u00e9n\u00e9es 8 (OMP), 14 Avenue Edouard Belin, 31400 Toulouse, France"},{"name":"Laboratoire d\u2019etudes en G\u00e9ophysique et Oc\u00e9anographie Spatiales (LEGOS), UMR 5566, CNRS\/IRD\/UPS, Observatoire Midi-Pyr\u00e9n\u00e9es 8 (OMP), 14 Avenue Edouard Belin, 31400 Toulouse, France"}]},{"given":"Guillaume","family":"Ramillien","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"G\u00e9osciences Environnement Toulouse (GET), UMR 5563, CNRS\/IRD\/UPS, Observatoire Midi-Pyr\u00e9n\u00e9es 8 (OMP), 14 Avenue Edouard Belin, 31400 Toulouse, France"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2018,5,25]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"1068","DOI":"10.1126\/science.1128845","article-title":"Global hydrological cycles and world water resources","volume":"313","author":"Oki","year":"2006","journal-title":"Science"},{"key":"ref_2","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"405","DOI":"10.1016\/0022-1694(93)90182-9","article-title":"Groundwater fluxes in the global hydrologic cycle: Past, present and future","volume":"144","author":"Zektser","year":"1993","journal-title":"J.
