The Hydrological Modeling and Analysis Platform (HyMAP): Evaluation in the Amazon Basin
Recent advances in global flow routing schemes have shown the importance of using high-resolution topography for representing floodplain inundation dynamics more reliably. This study presents and evaluates the Hydrological Modeling and Analysis Platform (HyMAP), which is a global flow routing scheme specifically designed to bridge the gap between current state-of-the-art global flow routing sch...
متن کاملSensitivity Analysis of Brown Model Waveform in Radar Altimetry
In satellite altimetry (radar altimetry), the altimeter emits a pulse, with known power, to the earth surface and receives it back continuously to determine of the sea surface height. The time series of the mean returned power is recorded individually at satellite as the so-called waveform. Analytical model for the waveform is first introduced by Brown, which consists of six parameters: signif...

22 23 In this paper, a hydrologic/hydrodynamic modelling of the Amazon River basin 24 is presented using the MGB-IPH model with a validation using remotely-sensed 25 observations. Moreover, the sources of model errors by means of the validation and 26 sensitivity tests are investigated and the physical functioning of the Amazon basin is 27 also explored. The MGB-IPH is a physically-based model ...
متن کاملA Survey of ICESat Coastal Altimetry Applications: Continental Coast, Open Ocean Island, and Inland River
ICESat satellite laser altimetry provides an unprecedented set of global elevation measurements of the Earth, yielding great detail over ice, land and ocean surfaces. Coastal regions in particular, including seamless land-water transitions, benefit from the small footprint (50 to 90 m), high resolution (40 Hz, ~170 m along-track), and high precision (2 to 3 cm) of ICESat. We discuss the perform...
متن کاملSurface water dynamics in the Amazon Basin: Application of satellite radar altimetry
[1] Satellite radar altimetry has the ability to monitor variations in surface water height (stage) for large wetlands, rivers, and associated floodplains. A clear advantage is the provision of data where traditional gauges are absent. As part of an international program, a complete altimetric analysis of the Amazon Basin is being undertaken. Here, an updated and more rigorous evaluation of the...
