Short summary
This study develops monthly gapless, filter-free gravity field solutions from January 1993 to December 2024, which merge multiple satellite observations without hydrometeorological models, achieving better accuracy than current methods. Assessment of global sea level budget closures and regional water balance shows major gains. Ice sheet mass changes in Antarctic and Greenland show higher consistency with reference estimates, enabling reliable tracking of global water and ice systems.
