2008: Variations of surface water extent and water storage in large
river basins: A comparison of different global data sources. Geophys. Res. Lett., 35, L11401, doi:10.1029/2008GL033857.
For the period 2003-2004 and for six large river basins, the present
study compares monthly time series of multi-satellite-derived surface
water extent with other independent global data sets related to land
water dynamics, such as water mass variations monitored by GRACE,
simulated surface and total water storage from WGHM, water levels from
altimetry, and GPCP precipitation estimates. In general, the datasets
show a strong agreement with each other at seasonal timescale. In
particular, over the Amazon and the Ganges basins, analysis of seasonal
phase differences and hysteresis behavior between surface water extent,
water level and storage reveal the complex relations between water
extent and storage variations and the different effects of water
transport processes within large river basins. The results highlight
the value of combining multi-satellite techniques for retrieving
surface water storage dynamics.
