Discharge Estimation via Assimilation of Multisatellite-Based Discharge Products: Case Study Over the Amazon Basin

Résumé

River flows are an essential component of the water cycle and are directly accessible for human consumption and activities. River water flux (i.e. river discharge) can be measured locally at in situ gauges, but can also be estimated at larger scales with River Routing Models. However, the number of in situ gauges is declining worldwide while emerging river-related products from satellites are becoming more available. Especially, discharge products based on satellite altimetry water elevations are emerging. These altimetry missions provide different spatial and temporal coverage and may not provide the same amount of information. In this study, discharge products from two satellite altimetry missions (ENVISAT and JASON-2), were assimilated into the large-scale hydrologic model ISBA-CTRIP using an Ensemble Kalman filter, to correct the simulated discharge. This work investigates whether it is better to assimilate products with a dense spatial coverage but a lower temporal sampling (ENVISAT) or the opposite (JASON-2). Three experiments have been performed: the first two assimilated each product separately, the last one assimilated the combined product. The openloop normalized Root Mean Square Error evaluated against in situ discharge (RMSEn) is 69%. RMSEn is decreased for all experiments. Specifically, it is slightly lower when assimilating ENVISAT-based discharge product (51%) than JASON-2 product (53%), as the ENVISAT-based product spatial coverage is denser.
