The Gulf of Carpentaria in northern Australia has a weather-driven annual periodic amplitude in sea surface height of similar to 0.4 m. Such a signal generates a mass variation that is readily detected by the GRACE mission. We used this naturally occurring phenomenon over a region of similar to 2.6 x 10(5) km(2) to evaluate the accuracy of the GRACE estimates of temporal mass variation. Comparison of the Groupe de Recherche de Geodesie Spatiale 10-day GRACE solutions and observations from a nearby tide gauge show a correlation of 0.93, indicating that the GRGS GRACE solutions capture well the regional signal. On the other hand, the MOG2D-G barotropic model accounts for only similar to 50% of the non-gravitational annual signal, suggesting either deficiencies in the model or that some other non-barotropic process is occurring.
