The results show that the maximal annual amplitude of the surface mass changes derived by GRACE is more than 80&nbsp;cm in terms of the equivalent water height (EWH) in the Amazon Basin. Most part of Amazon experiences mass gain, especially the Amazon River, while there is little mass loss in the northern and eastern parts. Through the Pearson correlation analysis, the monthly de-trended time series of GPS-observed vertical deformation and GRACE-derived mass loading are in good agreement with an average&nbsp;<a href="https://www.sciencedirect.com/topics/earth-and-planetary-sciences/correlation-coefficient" title="Learn more about correlation coefficient from ScienceDirect's AI-generated Topic Pages" class="topic-link" style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px; background-color: transparent; word-break: break-word; text-decoration-line: underline; text-decoration-thickness: 1px; text-decoration-color: rgb(31, 31, 31); color: rgb(31, 31, 31); text-underline-offset: 1px;">correlation coefficient</a><span style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">&nbsp;of about 0.75 throughout the Amazon region. The common seasonal signals of GPS vertical displacements and GRACE/GFO loading deformations are extracted using the stack averaging. The two kinds of common seasonal signals show a good consistency, and together indicate approximate 20&nbsp;mm peak-to-peak seasonal amplitude.

However, the time-frequency spectrum of GPS has more signal details and more significant semi-annual variations than that of GRACE/GFO. These results may contribute to the understanding of secular crustal vertical deformation in the Amazon Basin.</span></span><br></p> Elsevier Ltd.
