-- Advanced Microwave Scanning Radiometer - Earth Observing System (AMSR-E) & NASA TRMM(Future: Global Precipitation Measurement System) -- Utilizing 36-37Ghz (unaffected by cloud)-- pixel size ~20km-- ~2day complete global coverage (night-time brightness temperatures)-- data range: 1997 to present
Objective Monitoring of River Stage and Flow:Satellite-based Passive Microwave Radiometer
Other Approaches: satellite altimeter-derived water level (and discharge derived through rating curve):e.g. Birkett, 1998; Alsdorf et al. 2000; Jung et al. 2010, Papa et al. 2010, Alsdorf et al. 2011, Biancamaria et al. 2011

One day of data collection(high latitudes revisited most frequently)
=> On average, global coverage 1-2 days

Recent severe flooding: 1974, 1987, 1988, 1997, 1998, 2000, 2004, and 20071998: 60% of country inundated for 3 months, 1000 killed, 40 million homeless, 10-20% total food production2004: Brahmaputra floods killed 500 people, displaced 30 million, 40% of capitol city Dhaka under water2007: Brahmaputra floods displaced over 20 million

Estimating the kinematic wave celerity
Assumptions (large): hydraulic parameters homogenous; rainfall predominantly upper-catchment; wave speed variation with depth lower-order; dynamic wave effects lower-order (confirmed through rating curve analysis – not shown), etc.
Independent analysis: Kleitz-Seddon Law for kinematic wave celerity c: W channel top-width, Q discharge, y the river stage.Brahmaputra at Bahadurabad: 4m/s < c < 8m/s; Ganges at Hardinge Bridge: 2m/s < c < 6m/s.

Generation of Nowcasts and Forecasts
Regressor and model selection procedure:
i) Correlate all variables with gauged observations
ii) Sort in decreasing level
iii) Select using step-wise forward-selection using K-fold cross-validation and RMSE cost function
iv) Repeat ii) – iii) for all lead-times

Now, generate a forecast including “persistence”:
-- satellite information improves forecasts by 10-20% at all lead-times

Summary
Satellite-based passive microwave imagery useful tool for monitoring river conditions for limited-gauged basins
Useful for estimating:-- flood wave celerity-- discharge estimates (nowcasts) including filling in missing data
Combined with other methodologies, a potentially useful tool for flood forecasting of large river basins
