Short summary
Tracking land water storage helps examine extreme events and manage water resources. GRACE (Gravity Recovery and Climate Experiment) missions observe changes, but coarse resolution in space and time challenges effective management. New gravity mission called MAGIC (Mass Change And Geosciences International Constellation) can offers better accuracy. This study tested MAGIC’s potential to estimate precipitation using the SM2RAIN approach. Results show SM2RAIN works well with frequent, accurate data but deteriorates with noisy/sparse data, emphasizing the need for precise gravity missions.
