The hydrology of the peatland serves as an indicator of the carbon storage capacity. Hence, we investigate the question how suitable different remote sensing data are for monitoring the size of open water surface and the water table depth (WTD) of a peatland ecosystem. Furthermore, we examine the potential of combining remote sensing data for this purpose. We use C-band synthetic aperture radar (SAR) data from Sentinel-1 and multi-spectral data from Sentinel-2. The radar backscatter σ0, the normalized difference water index (NDWI) and the modified normalized difference water index (MNDWI) are calculated and used for consideration of the WTD and the lake size. For the measurement of the lake size, we implement and investigate the methods: random forest, adaptive thresholding and an analysis according to the Dempster–Shafer theory. Correlations between WTD and the remote sensing data σ0 as well as NDWI are investigated. When looking at the individual data sets the results of our case study show that the VH polarized σ0 data produces the clearest delineation of the peatland lake. However the adaptive thresholding of the weighted fusion image of σ0-VH, σ0-VV and MNDWI, and the random forest algorithm with all three data sets as input proves to be the most suitable for determining the lake area. The correlation coefficients between σ0/NDWI and WTD vary greatly and lie in ranges of low to moderate correlation.
