โœฆ Synopsis

Remote sensing provides a means of observing hydrological state variables over large areas. The ones which we will consider in this paper are land surface temperature from thermal infrared data, surface soil moisture from passive microwave data, snow cover using both visible and microwave data, water quality using visible and near-infrared data and estimating landscape surface roughness using lidar. Methods for estimating the hydrometeorlogical fluxes, evapotranspiration and snowmelt runoff, using these state variables are also described.

With the successful launch of the first Earth Resources Technology Satellite (ERTS-1 or Landsat-1) on 23 July 1972, scientists and engineers gained a valuable new source of space-based observations for studying hydrologic systems and processes. Previously hampered by a lack of detailed spatial infor

Most hydrologists are aware of and perhaps intrigued by remote sensing, but very few are actual users of the data and almost none have the necessary technical background to easily use remote sensing. There are a number of reasons for this, but perhaps the most important reason is that remote sensing
