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 …

Satellite altimetry has been designed for sea level monitoring over open ocean areas.
However, for some years, this technology has also been used to retrieve water levels from …

Since the launch of the ENVISAT satellite in 2002, the Radar Altimetry Mission provides
systematic observations of the Earth topography. Among the different goals of the ENVISAT …

This study sets out to analyze the stages of water bodies in the Amazon basin derived from
the processing of ERS-2 and ENVISAT satellite altimetry data. For ENVISAT, GDR …

The monitoring of continental water stages is a requirement for meeting human needs and
assessing ongoing climatic changes. However, regular gauging networks fail to provide the …

The paper discusses an application of the TOPEX/Poseidon (T/P) altimetry data to estimate
the discharge of one of the largest Arctic rivers—the Ob'river. We first discuss the …

By “illuminating” the Earth's inland water surfaces with radar altimeter data from the ERS‐1
Geodetic Mission, a global waveform analysis has shown that over 50% of echoes from …

The objective of this study is to determine spatio-temporal variations of water volume over
inundated areas located in large river basins using combined observations from the …

The Himalayan region is vulnerable to climate change, which is triggering extreme
hydrological events. To understand the impact of climate emission scenarios on different …

A methodology to estimate the discharge along rivers, even poorly gauged ones, taking
advantage of water level measurements derived from satellite altimetry is proposed. The …
