Objectives
The objective of this workshop is to bring together
hydrologists, both developing models and collecting in-situ data,
from ‘global scale’ to ‘regional scale”, and space scientists in order to develop further scientific interactions between these communities and develop new demand-driven products, tailored to hydrological requirements.
Themes
| 1. |
Global hydrological modelling: objectives, state of the art, improvement and requirements, contribution of space observations. |
| 2. |
From Large-scale hydrology to Small-scale hydrology: Do hydrology requirements depend on scale? How space techniques can answer these challenges? |
| 3. |
Monitoring Spatio-temporal changes of surface waters: applications to climate research and water resources management and contribution of space observations. |
| 4. |
Space techniques to measure hydrological variables
| • |
Global land hydrology and its geodynamic effects |
| • |
Radar altimetry processing for inland water levels |
| • |
SAR for DEM and water surface characterization |
| • |
Accuracy and space-time resolution needed for global and regional hydrological model parameters |
| • |
Rain, snow and ice cover in river watershed and its role in the formation of river discharge |
| • |
Steps towards estimation of river discharge from space |
| • |
Other applications of space observations in large river basins (e.g., sediments transport, systematic mapping of wet areas, flood monitoring, use of altimetry for vertical referencing, etc.) |
|
| 5. |
Data assimilation of space observations applied to hydraulic parameter identification. Expected potential of space data in hydrologic and hydrodynamic modeling. |
| 6. |
Strategic combinations of satellite and ground-based data for large scale hydrological monitoring: improvement expected. |
| 7. |
Round table discussion: Current and future challenges in hydrology: What are they and how to face them? How to strengthen the collaboration between the two communities: hydrologists and space observation scientists? Synthesis and recommendations: action plan, future workshops. |
Participation
The workshop was open to all interested parties, from scientists to operational users in water management.
Scientists from three different fields - remote sensing experts, modelers in hydrology and in-situ data gatherers were represented.
