The response of the Antarctic Ice Sheet (AIS) to climate change is a major public concern due to its potential impact on sea level rise. Meredith et al. (2019) concluded that the ice mass loss of the West Antarctic Ice Sheet (WAIS) has increased during the last two decades. In contrast, some drainage basins of the East Antarctic Ice Sheet (EAIS) show both mass losses and mass gains (Rignot et al., 2019) . The Gravity Recovery And Climate Experiment (GRACE) mission and its follow-on (GRACE-FO)
