Aiming at the continuous GPS coordinate time series in Greenland, this paper comprehensively analyzes the correlation between GRACE seasonal load deformation and GPS station coordinates. First, in order to improve the accuracy of GPS station coordinates, the principle component analysis (PCA) method was used to eliminate the common mode error (CME) of the station coordinates. The results show that this method effectively reduces the uncertainty of the station coordinates time series. Secondly, when extracting seasonal signals, it is found that the singular spectrum (SSA) method can effectively obtain the time-varying part of seasonal signals, and its extraction effect is better than that of the least square fitting (LSF) method. Finally, the seasonal relationship between GRACE load deformation and GPS station coordinates is analyzed from the aspects of time series change, correlation, and WRMS reduction. It is found that there are differences in the amplitude and phase parts of the time series. The mean value of correlation is 0.73, the maximum reduction of WRMS is 55.20% (QAQ1 station), and the minimum is \u221222.69% (KMJP station), indicating that most stations mainly exhibit seasonal load deformation, while individual stations cannot effectively reflect. In addition, the influence of GRACE seasonal load deformation on the station coordinate parameters is quantitatively analyzed. The results show that the best noise model of the station is mainly WN + FN, which effectively reduces the velocity uncertainty of the station coordinate, and weakens the seasonal term oscillation.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/rs15020511","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2023,1,16]],"date-time":"2023-01-16T04:31:32Z","timestamp":1673843492000},"page":"511","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":7,"title":["Combined GRACE and GPS to Analyze the Seasonal Variation of Surface Vertical Deformation in Greenland and Its Influence"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"15","author":[{"given":"Yankai","family":"Bian","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Geomatics and Municipal Engineering, Zhejiang University of Water Resources and Electric Power, Hangzhou 310018, China"}]},{"given":"Zhen","family":"Li","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"College of Surveying and Geo-Informatics, North China University of Water Resources and Electric Power, Zhengzhou 450046, China"}]},{"given":"Zhiquan","family":"Huang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Luoyang Institute of Science and Technology, Luoyang 471023, China"}]},{"given":"Bing","family":"He","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Geomatics and Municipal Engineering, Zhejiang University of Water Resources and Electric Power, Hangzhou 310018, China"}]},{"given":"Liangliang","family":"Shi","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Geomatics and Municipal Engineering, Zhejiang University of Water Resources and Electric Power, Hangzhou 310018, China"}]},{"given":"Song","family":"Miao","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Geomatics and Municipal Engineering, Zhejiang University of Water Resources and Electric Power, Hangzhou 310018, China"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2023,1,14]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"200","DOI":"10.1007\/s001900050161","article-title":"Estimating regional deformation from a combination of space and terrestrial geodetic data","volume":"72","author":"Dong","year":"1998","journal-title":"J.
