Introduction

Supplementary materials contains discussions about air pressure loading correction, local snow load calculation and
uncertainty estimations for the five variables of seasonal uplift pattern.  Information of utilized meteorological stations
and all GPS time series with best fit model are included in the supplementary materials.  Five parameters of seasonal 
uplift patterns estimated from fitting GPS vertical data to a cubic spline model and parameters describing both 
atmospheric and oceanic condition at each GPS site are also included.
