What it is about

In this module you will learn how radar satellite altimetry is used to observe lakes, rivers and reservoirs. You will apply data-driven methods to convert water levels into volume changes and discharges, assess data quality relative to other observation sources, and integrate altimetry information into hydrological models.

What you will be able to do

  • Understand the observation principle of radar satellite altimetry
  • Apply satellite altimetry for determining lake volumes
  • Apply satellite altimetry to calculate river discharge
  • Evaluate the quality of altimetry data against other observation systems
  • Understand the use of altimetry data for calibration of hydrological models
  • Discuss technically with experts in inland altimetry

What the module consists of

  • LectureConveying the technical foundations and discussion of selected literature; includes a guest lecture
  • Practical exercises (Matlab, CIP-Pool)Four supervised exercises on the use of altimetry data
  • Guest lectureSpecial lecture on calibrating hydrological models (expert)

Teaching method

  • Interactive lectureLecture with ongoing assessment of learning success through questions and chalkboard derivations
  • Mathematical derivation at the boardFor deepening and traceability of mathematical concepts
  • Discussion of selected literatureTo complement lecture content and scientific contextualization
  • Supervised Matlab exercises in the CIP-PoolPractical application of concepts on real datasets
