The publicly available global database is very limited in its spatial and temporal coverage worldwide. Moreover, the acquisition of in situ data and their delivery to the database are on the decline since the late 1970s be it for economical, political or other reasons. Given the insufficient monitoring from in situ gauge networks, and without any outlook of improvement, spaceborne approaches are currently being investigated. Satellite-based Earth observation with its global coverage and homogeneous accuracy has been demonstrated to be a potential alternative to in situ measurements. The Institute of Geodesy (GIS), within the Faculty of Aerospace Engineering and Geodesy at University of Stuttgart has a long-standing expertise, both theoretically and practically, in dynamic satellite geodesy. In recent years, GIS initiated and participated in studies and projects on application of spaceborne geodetic sensors for hydrological studies. HydroSat provides the results of these studies and projects, in which spaceborne geodetic sensors are used to estimate Surface water extent from satellite imagery Water level from satellite altimetry Water Storage Anomaly from satellite gravimetry River discharge from satellite altimetry, imagery or gravimetry Tourian, Mohammad Institute of Geodesy, University of Stuttgart, Stuttgart, Germany tourian@gis.uni-stuttgart.de pointOfContact Schlesinger, Ron Institute of Geodesy, University of Stuttgart, Stuttgart, Germany ron.schlesinger@gis.uni-stuttgart.de pointOfContact Surface water extent from satellite imagery Water level from satellite altimetry Water Storage Anomaly from satellite gravimetry River discharge from satellite altimetrytr Earth Observation Satellites > CRYOSAT Earth Observation Satellites > Earth Explorers > CRYOSAT-2 Earth Observation Satellites > ENVISAT Earth Observation Satellites > JASON-1 Earth Observation Satellites > LANDSAT Earth Observation Satellites > NASA Decadal Survey > GRACE II Earth Observation Satellites > NASA Earth System Science Pathfinder > GRACE Earth Observation Satellites > OSTM/JASON-2 Earth Observation Satellites > SARAL Earth Observation Satellites > Sentinel GMES > SENTINEL-3 Earth Observation Satellites > TOPEX/POSEIDON GCMD Platforms publication Earth Remote Sensing Instruments > Active Remote Sensing > Altimeters > Radar Altimeters > ALTIKA Altimeter Earth Remote Sensing Instruments > Passive Remote Sensing > Spectrometers/Radiometers > Imaging Spectrometers/Radiometers > MODIS GCMD Instruments publication EARTH SCIENCE SERVICES > DATA ANALYSIS AND VISUALIZATION NASA/GCMD Earth Science Keywords publication CC BY 4.0 CC BY 4.0 10.5194/essd-2021-174 DOI IsSupplementTo 10.3390/rs8121005 DOI IsSupplementTo 10.5067/ATLAS/ATL13.003 DOI Cites 10.1175/JHM-D-13-0157.1 DOI Cites 10.5880/ICGEM.2018.003 DOI Cites 10.1038/nature20584 DOI Cites 10.5270/en1-ajb696a DOI Cites 10.1002/2013WR013847 DOI References 10.1016/j.jog.2012.02.001 DOI References 10.1016/j.scitotenv.2020.139857 DOI Cites 10.1007/978-3-319-43744-6_11 DOI References 10.1007/s10712-014-9300-4 DOI Cites 10.1016/j.rse.2014.10.006 DOI Cites 10.1007/s11200-009-9007-z DOI Cites 10.1016/j.jhydrol.2017.01.009 DOI IsSupplementTo 10.1002/wrcr.20348 DOI IsSupplementTo 10.1002/2015WR017654 DOI IsSupplementTo 10.1007/1345_2015_170 DOI Cites 10.3390/w9100753 DOI Cites 10.1002/2017WR021150 DOI Cites eng geoscientificInformation -180 180 -90 90 http://doi.org/10.5880/fidgeo.2021.017 WWW:LINK-1.0-http--link Data Access - DOI Data Access - DOI information
