To better understand the impact of climate forcing on Greenland ice sheet (GrIS), we study the GrIS mass variations on the interannual timescale as observed by the satellite mission of Gravity Recovery and Climate Experiment (GRACE). By employing the method of empirical orthogonal function) analysis...
