Flooding over the Mackenzie River Basin, which is situated in northwestern Canada, is a
complex and rapid process. This process is mainly controlled by the occurrence of ice jams …

Accurate information concerning antecedent soil moisture conditions is a key source of
hydrologic forecasting skill for regional-scale flooding events occurring over time scales of …

The objective of this work is to demonstrate the potential of using passive microwave data to
monitor flood and discharge conditions and to infer watershed hydraulic and hydrologic …

The present era of climate change and expanding population requires major improvements
in sustained observation of global river discharge. Floods and droughts are affecting food …

Simulating and forecasting river discharge using satellite information is one of the most
economical ways of measuring discharge, especially in remote areas where in situ gauges …

In the past, cloud-cover has been a major factor limiting the use of remote sensing for
hydrological applications. Satellites such as ERS-1, which carry microwave sensors, can …

This paper describes two applications of remote sensing flood inundation mapping in
support of hydrologic models: mapping monthly flood extent in the lower Mekong Basin …

We have developed a new method for making high-resolution flood extent maps (eg at the
30-100 m scale of digital elevation models) in real-time from low-resolution (20-70 km) …

Measurements of river discharge and watershed runoff are essential to water resources
management, efficient hydropower generation, accurate flood prediction and control, and …

Physical principles governing passive microwave remote sensing of hydrological variables
are outlined and illustrated by actual observations by ground-based, air-borne and space …
