Remote sensing is a powerful tool for monitoring temporal variations in both the extent, level, and volume, of water using the synergy between satellite images and radar altimetry. Estimating water levels over flooded area using radar altimetry observation is difficult. In this study, an unsupervised classification approach is applied on the radar altimetry backscattering coefficients to discriminate between flooded and non-flooded areas in the Cuvette Centrale of Congo. Good detection of water (open water, permanent and seasonal inundation) is above 0.9 using radar altimetry backscattering from ENVISAT and Jason-2. Based on these results, the time series of water levels were automatically produced. They exhibit temporal variations in good agreement with the hydrological regime of the Cuvette Centrale. Comparisons against a manually generated time series of water levels from the same missions at the same locations show a very good agreement between the two processes (i.e., RMSE ≤ 0.25 m in more than 80%/90% of the cases and R ≥ 0.95 in more than 95%/75% of the cases for ENVISAT and Jason-2, respectively). The use of the time series of water levels over rivers and wetlands improves the spatial pattern of the annual amplitude of water storage in the Cuvette Centrale. It also leads to a decrease by a factor of four for the surface water estimates in this area, compared with a case where only time series over rivers are considered.

Maintaining the long-term calibration of the Jason-2/OSTM advanced microwave radiometer through intersatellite calibration / Shannon Brown in IEEE Transactions on geoscience and remote sensing, vol 51 n° 3 Tome 1 (March 2013)

The AMR provides a correction for the wet tropospheric path delay (PD) of the radar altimeter signal, and it is critical that any drift in the radiometer be estimated and removed to enable studies of global mean sea-level variability. The intersatellite calibration method transfers the long-term calibration from other satellite microwave radiometers using a transfer function to map the other sensor's brightness temperature (TB) observations to those of the AMR. Intersensor mapping functions are derived separately for ocean observations and observations over the Amazon rainforest. This provides a warm and cold TB calibration reference to enable the distinction between long-term gain and offset drifts. A database of co-incident observations is generated between the AMR and conically scanning microwave sensors, namely, AMSR-E, TMI, and SSMIS. Monthly averaged differences are found between the AMR and the AMR equivalent TBs computed from the reference sensors. The apparent change in the AMR calibration determined from the three reference sensors is intercompared between the sensors and compared to that determined using natural on-Earth references. It is found that apparent trends in the AMR TBs between the reference sensors and the natural on-Earth references agree within a month to better than 0.4 K. The AMR 18.7- and 23.8-GHz channels are found to be stable to 0.5 K over the first three years of the mission, and the calibration 34.0-GHz channel is found to drift downward by approximately 6 K. In all channels, the calibration change is determined to be a series of offset jumps (independent of TB). These calibration changes in each AMR channel are estimated and removed using the comparisons to the reference sensors. The uncertainty in the PD long-term stability after recalibration is estimated to be less than 0.5 mm/year from July 2008 to August 2011.
