Evaluation of the simulated wetland extent against terrestrial water storage (TWS) from GRACE. Spatial distributions of correlations between TWS from GRACE and wetland fraction from GIEMS-2, WAD2M, and simulations based on four soil moisture data including NCEP-DOE, MERRA-2, ERA5, and GLDAS-Noah v2.0 for 2003–2016, with the parameters calibrated with GIEMS-2 and WAD2M (denoted as SGIEMS-2 and SWAD2M) respectively. The 0.25° × 0.25° grids with a <1% wetland fraction from RFW are masked out for all maps. The black hatching indicates the correlations are statistically significant (p < 0.05).
