Satellite soil moisture measurements improve streamflow estimation

September 8, 2016 Simon Walker (OzEWEX) and Patricia López López (Deltares) Leave a comment

New research shows that hydrological model streamflow estimates can be improved be integrating streamflow and satellite soil moisture measurements. The team of scientists from the Netherlands, US and Australia set out to assess the difference in model-derived streamflow estimates when introducing […]
