As the largest river basin on Earth, the Amazon is of major importance to the world's climate
and water resources. Over the past decades, advances in satellite‐based remote sensing …

Lakes are integrators of environmental change occurring at both the regional and global
scale. They present a wide range of behavior on a variety of timescales (cyclic and secular) …

In this study, rating curves (RCs) were determined by applying satellite altimetry to a poorly
gauged basin. This study demonstrates the synergistic application of remote sensing and …

Radar altimetry provides unique information on water stages of inland hydro-systems. In this
study, the performance of seven altimetry missions, among the most commonly used in land …

This chapter provides some basics of the interpretation of satellite altimetry measurements
and explains how to use altimetry for hydrology. Satellite altimetry has been extensively …

Monitoring the variation of rivers and lakes is of great importance. Satellite radar altimetry is
a promising technology to do this on a regional to global scale. Satellite radar altimetry data …

Land surface models (LSMs) are widely used to study the continental part of the water cycle.
However, even though their accuracy is increasing, inherent model uncertainties can not be …

The India–France SARAL/AltiKa mission is the first Ka-band altimetric mission dedicated
primarily to oceanography. The mission objectives were firstly the observation of the oceanic …

For more than a century, river discharge has been measured indirectly through observations
of water level and flow velocity, but recently the number of gauging stations worldwide has …

Altimetry is now routinely used to monitor stage variations over rivers, including in the
Amazon basin. It is desirable for hydrologic studies to be able to combine altimetry from …
