  abstract = {{S}urface water storage is a key component of the terrestrial hydrological and biogeochemical cycles that also plays a major role in water resources management. {I}n this study, surface water storage ({SWS}) variations are estimated at monthly time-scale over 15 years (1993-2007) using a hypsographic approach based on the combination of topographic information from {A}dvance {S}paceborne {T}hermal {E}mission and {R}eflection {R}adiometer ({ASTER}) and {H}ydrological {M}odeling and {A}nalysis {P}latform ({H}y{MAP})-based {G}lobal {D}igital {E}levation {M}odels ({GDEM}) and the {G}lobal {I}nundation {E}xtent {M}ulti-{S}atellite ({GIEMS}) product in the {G}anges-{B}rahmaputra basin. {T}he monthly variations of the surface water storage are in good accordance with precipitation from {G}lobal {P}recipitation {C}limatology {P}roject ({GPCP}), river discharges at the outlet of the {G}anges and the {B}rahmaputra, and terrestrial water storage ({TWS}) from the {G}ravity {R}ecovery {A}nd {C}limate {E}xperiment ({GRACE}), with correlations higher than 0.85. {S}urface water storage presents a strong seasonal signal (similar to 496 km(3) estimated by {GIEMS}/{ASTER} and similar to 378 km(3) by {GIEMS}/{H}y{MAP}s), representing similar to 51% and similar to 41% respectively of the total water storage signal and it exhibits a large inter-annual variability with strong negative anomalies during the drought-like conditions of 1994 or strong positive anomalies such as in 1998. {T}his new dataset of {SWS} is a new, highly valuable source of information for hydrological and climate modeling studies of the {G}anges-{B}rahmaputra river basin.},
