H52D:
Regional to Global Surface Water Storage and Runoff: Remote Sensing, In Situ Data, and Modeling I


Session ID#: 10628

Session Description:
Surface waters (rivers, lakes, reservoirs, wetlands and inundated areas) have been monitored by radar altimetry since the launch of Topex/Poseidon and ERS-1. The next generation of high-resolution radar altimetry instruments exploits new techniques such as along-track Delay-Doppler (SAR Altimeters, e.g. on Sentinel-3) and interferometry (Surface Water Ocean Topography Mission or SWOT) to provide unprecedented observations of width, height and slope for the largest terrestrial water bodies. These observations might help to improve our understanding of and modeling capabilities for the global terrestrial water cycle. 

This session calls for submissions covering the following topics: Space techniques to measure hydrological surface variables; monitoring spatio-temporal changes of surface waters from space; in situ data, modeling and assimilation; and efforts related to the simulation of SWOT terrestrial measurements (lakes and/or rivers) and/or their integration into terrestrial hydrologic models.
