DHI colleagues will be on the scene at the European Geosciences Union (EGU) General Assembly next week, the largest and most prominent European geosciences event, attracting thousands of scientists from all over the world. Mónica Coppo Frías will be presenting how new satellite data from the Surface Water and Ocean Topography (𝗦𝗪𝗢𝗧) mission can strengthen hydrological modelling in data-scarce regions. From wetlands in the Usangu basin to the transition between rivers and oceans in major deltas such as the Bengal delta, access to reliable water level observations has long been a limiting factor. SWOT changes this by providing new types of measurements across large spatial scales. For the first time, we can capture river and coastal dynamics together, opening up new possibilities for an improved representation of estuary regions in models. ‘With SWOT, we get observations in places where measurements have traditionally been sparse or unavailable. That allows us to improve how we represent water dynamics in models, which is essential for understanding and managing these systems’, explains Monica Coppo Frias, Industrial PostDoc in Earth Observation Analytics at DHI. The work highlights how Earth observation can help close critical data gaps and strengthen the basis for hydrological analysis.
