Based on spherical harmonic analyses, we developed a method using degree-dependent weighting to assimilate the Global Positioning System (GPS) derived crustal uplift rates into GIA model predictions, in which the good global pattern of GIA model predictions and better local resolution of GPS solutions are both retained. Some systematic errors in global GPS uplift rates were also corrected during the spherical harmonic analyses. Further, we used the refined GIA uplift rates to infer the GIA-induced rates of Stokes coefficients (complete to degree\/order 120) relying on the accurate relationship between GIA vertical surface deformation and gravitational potential changes. The results show notable improvements relative to GIA model outputs, and may serve as a GIA-correction model for GRACE time-variable gravity data.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/rs12071209","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2020,4,9]],"date-time":"2020-04-09T14:42:03Z","timestamp":1586443323000},"page":"1209","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":6,"title":["Global Glacial Isostatic Adjustment Constrained by GPS Measurements: Spherical Harmonic Analyses of Uplifts and Geopotential Variations"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"12","author":[{"given":"Yan","family":"Zhou","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Key Laboratory of Earthquake Geodesy, Institute of Seismology, China Earthquake Administration, Wuhan 430071, China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Shaomin","family":"Yang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Wuhan Emergency Management Bureau, Wuhan 430010, China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Jiesi","family":"Luo","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Key Laboratory of Geospace Environment and Geodesy, School of Geodesy and Geomatics, Wuhan University, Wuhan 430079, China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Jim","family":"Ray","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (retired), Silver Spring, MD 20910, USA"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Yong","family":"Huang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Key Laboratory of Earthquake Geodesy, Institute of Seismology, China Earthquake Administration, Wuhan 430071, China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Jiancheng","family":"Li","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Key Laboratory of Geospace Environment and Geodesy, School of Geodesy and Geomatics, Wuhan University, Wuhan 430079, China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2020,4,9]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"683","DOI":"10.1111\/j.1365-246X.1992.tb00125.x","article-title":"Effects on postglacial rebound from the hard rheology in the transition zone","volume":"109","author":"Spada","year":"1992","journal-title":"Geophys.
