Short summary
Accurate prediction of terrestrial water storage (TWS) changes is essential for disaster response. This study evaluates TWS forecast skill over Africa using observations from the Gravity Recovery and Climate Experiment (GRACE). Results show that the NASA Catchment Land Surface Model (CLSM) outperforms Noah with Multi-Parameterization (Noah-MP) across 1-6 months lead times, owing to more accurate reanalysis-based initial conditions and stronger representation of TWS interannual variability.
