The African continent hosts some of the largest freshwater systems worldwide, characterized
by a large distribution and variability of surface waters that play a key role in the water …

Evapotranspiration (ET) is a major component of the water cycle and agricultural water
balance. Estimation of water consumption over agricultural areas is important for agricultural …

As the largest river basin on Earth, the Amazon is of major importance to the world's climate
and water resources. Over the past decades, advances in satellite‐based remote sensing …

The elevations of water surfaces hold important information on the earth's oceans and land
surface waters. Ocean sea surface height is related to the internal change of the ocean's …

This article reviews the state of the art in the use of space-borne observations for analyzing
extreme rainfall and flood events in Africa. Floods occur across many space and timescales …

Understanding hydrological processes is achieved using modeling approaches due to the
extensive and complex interactions between various environmental elements. Hydrological …

For more than a century, river discharge has been measured indirectly through observations
of water level and flow velocity, but recently the number of gauging stations worldwide has …

Abstract The Congo River basin (CRB) is the second largest river system in the world, but its
hydroclimatic characteristics remain relatively poorly known. Here, we jointly analyse a large …

This study intends to integrate heterogeneous remote sensing observations and
hydrological modeling into a simple framework to monitor hydrological variables in the …

Current and forthcoming altimetry satellites provide increasing hydraulic visibility of river
surface variabilities. However, due to unobservable river bathymetry and friction, as well as …
