A review of the evolution of satellite radar altimetry for hydrological Monitoring: Water level and discharge estimation
As of 2025, satellite radar altimetry has evolved over 32 years into a transformative tool, significantly advancing the understanding of oceanographic, glaciological, and hydrological systems. Satellite altimetry has progressively transformed hydrological science and sustainable water resource management, particularly in monitoring river stage and discharge. The availability of multiple altimetry missions, including ENVISAT, Jason-2/3, CryoSat-2, and the groundbreaking Surface Water and Ocean Topography (SWOT) satellite, has enabled more accurate and improved monitoring of global water bodies. The review explores data from multi-mission approaches integrated with statistical models, providing enhanced spatio-temporal insights into the hydrological parameters. By incorporating both Low-Resolution Mode (LRM) and advanced Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) technologies, these missions have overcome challenges like topographic variation and river morphology, offering reliable water level assessments across diverse river systems. The combination of altimetric data with hydrological models like the Manning equation and rating curves has significantly improved the accuracy of river stage-discharge relationships. The performance of these methods using key metrics like Root Mean Square Error (RMSE), Nash-Sutcliffe Efficiency (NSE), and correlation coefficients has also been thoroughly evaluated. Moreover, the technical aspects of radar altimetry and its role in stage and discharge calculation and flood modeling have also been highlighted. The study demonstrates the growing significance of satellite altimetry in global hydrological monitoring and resource management by examining case studies from major rivers like the Amazon, Mississippi, and Brahmaputra. The study concludes by discussing the potential applications of satellite altimetry in disaster management and an improved understanding of hydrological regimes.
期刊介绍:
Physics and Chemistry of the Earth is an international interdisciplinary journal for the rapid publication of collections of refereed communications in separate thematic issues, either stemming from scientific meetings, or, especially compiled for the occasion. There is no restriction on the length of articles published in the journal. Physics and Chemistry of the Earth incorporates the separate Parts A, B and C which existed until the end of 2001.
Please note: the Editors are unable to consider submissions that are not invited or linked to a thematic issue. Please do not submit unsolicited papers.
The journal covers the following subject areas:
-Solid Earth and Geodesy:
(geology, geochemistry, tectonophysics, seismology, volcanology, palaeomagnetism and rock magnetism, electromagnetism and potential fields, marine and environmental geosciences as well as geodesy).
-Hydrology, Oceans and Atmosphere:
(hydrology and water resources research, engineering and management, oceanography and oceanic chemistry, shelf, sea, lake and river sciences, meteorology and atmospheric sciences incl. chemistry as well as climatology and glaciology).
-Solar-Terrestrial and Planetary Science:
(solar, heliospheric and solar-planetary sciences, geology, geophysics and atmospheric sciences of planets, satellites and small bodies as well as cosmochemistry and exobiology).
