Altimetry for the future: building on 25 years of progress

Saleh Abdalla, +360 more
TL;DR: In 2018, the 25th year of development of radar altimetry was celebrated and the progress achieved by this methodology in the fields of global and coastal oceanography, hydrology, geodesy and cryospheric sciences as discussed by the authors.
Journal ArticleDOI

Constructing long-term high-frequency time series of global lake and reservoir areas using Landsat imagery

TL;DR: In this paper, a method to improve the temporal frequency of usable Landsat observations for mapping lakes and reservoirs, by effectively recovering inundation areas from contaminated images, was proposed, and the recovered water areas show a relative root-mean-squared error of 2.2%.
Journal ArticleDOI

Lake storage variation on the endorheic Tibetan Plateau and its attribution to climate change since the new millennium

TL;DR: Yao et al. as discussed by the authors investigated the lake storage variation on the endorheic Tibetan Plateau and its attribution to climate change since the new millennium, and showed that lake storage variations are correlated with climate change.
Journal ArticleDOI

High-Resolution Mapping of Urban Surface Water Using ZY-3 Multi-Spectral Imagery

TL;DR: An automated urban water extraction method (UWEM) which combines a new water index, together with a building shadow detection method, which reduces the over- and under-estimation issues which often accompany previous water indices when mapping urban surface water under complex environmental conditions.
