Journal ArticleDOI
A spaceborne multisensor approach to monitor the desiccation of Lake Urmia in Iran
TL;DR: In this article, the authors used satellite altimetry data from ENVISAT and CryoSat-2 to monitor the lake water level and employed optical satellite imagery to determine the surface water extent of the lake repeatedly.
Journal ArticleDOI
Spatiotemporal densification of river water level time series by multimission satellite altimetry
Mohammad J. Tourian,Angelica Tarpanelli,Omid Elmi,T. Qin,Luca Brocca,Tommaso Moramarco,Nico Sneeuw +6 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors developed an approach that eliminates most of these limitations to produce an approximately 3 day temporal resolution water level time series from the original typically (sub)monthly data sets for the Po River in detail, and for Congo, Mississippi, and Danube Rivers.
Journal ArticleDOI
A quantile function approach to discharge estimation from satellite altimetry (ENVISAT)
TL;DR: In this paper, a statistical approach based on quantile functions was proposed to infer the functional relation between water level measurements from altimetry and discharge from the gauging stations without the need for having synchronous data sets.
Journal ArticleDOI
River discharge estimation at daily resolution from satellite altimetry over an entire river basin
TL;DR: In this article, a linear dynamic model is proposed to estimate daily river discharge using altimetric time series of an entire river basin including its tributaries, and the model consists of a stochastic process model that benefits from the cyclostationary behavior of discharge.
Journal ArticleDOI
Large-Scale Runoff from Landmasses: A Global Assessment of the Closure of the Hydrological and Atmospheric Water Balances*
Christof Lorenz,Harald Kunstmann,Balaji Devaraju,Mohammad J. Tourian,Nico Sneeuw,Johannes Riegger +5 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the performance of hydrological and hydrometeorological water-balance-based methods to estimate monthly runoff is analyzed and the closure of water budgets at different spatial and temporal scales.
