Growth in satellite observations and modelling capabilities has transformed drought
monitoring, offering near-real-time information. However, current monitoring efforts focus on …

Lakes are integrators of environmental change occurring at both the regional and global
scale. They present a wide range of behavior on a variety of timescales (cyclic and secular) …

Surface water storage and fluxes in rivers, lakes, reservoirs and wetlands are currently
poorly observed at the global scale, even though they represent major components of the …

Spatiotemporally continuous global river discharge estimates across the full spectrum of
stream orders are vital to a range of hydrologic applications, yet they remain poorly …

The first issue of WRR appeared eight years after the launch of Sputnik, but by WRR's 25th
anniversary, only seven papers that used remote sensing had appeared. Over the journal's …

We studied 34 global reservoirs for which good quality surface elevation data could be
obtained from a combination of five satellite altimeters for the period from 1992 to 2010. For …

Abstract The Surface Water and Ocean Topography (SWOT) satellite mission planned for
launch in 2020 will map river elevations and inundated area globally for rivers> 100 m wide …

The elevation of the ocean surface has been measured for over two decades from
spaceborne altimeters. However, existing altimeter measurements are not adequate to …

Despite its importance as a major element of the global hydrologic cycle, runoff remains
poorly constrained except at the largest spatial scales due to limitations of the global stream …

Man-made reservoirs play a key role in the terrestrial water system. They alter water fluxes at
the land surface and impact surface water storage through water management regulations …
