Short summary
This paper presents a new validation method for the downscaling of GRACE (Gravity Recovery and Climate Experiment) data. It measures the improvement of the downscaled data against the low-resolution data in both temporal and, for the first time, spatial domains. This validation method offers a standardized and comprehensive framework to interpret spatially and temporally the quality of the downscaled products, supporting future efforts in GRACE downscaling methods.
