This article describes the first results obtained from Surface Waves Investigation and Monitoring (SWIM) instrument carried by China France Oceanography Satellite (CFOSAT), which was launched on October 29, 2018. SWIM is a Ku-band radar with near-nadir scanning beam geometry. It designed to measure spectral properties of surface ocean waves. First, good behavior illustrated. then shown that nadir products (significant wave height, normalized cross section, wind speed) exhibit an accuracy...
The European Space Agency (ESA) Soil Moisture and Ocean Salinity (SMOS) satellite has provided, for the first time, systematic passive L-band (1.4 GHz) measurements from space. This new data set, with a spatial resolution of ~40 km, allowed number outstanding results over land (soil moisture, vegetation properties, frozen soils, ...), ocean (salinity, meso-scale phenomena, river plumes, high winds, ...) cryosphere. SMOS, together NASA missions SMAP Aquarius, have demonstrated interest...
Flood simulation and forecast capability have been greatly improved thanks to advances in data assimilation (DA) strategies incorporating various types of observations; many are derived from Earth Observations space. This article focuses on the 2-D flood observations synthetic aperture radar (SAR) images acquired during a event with dual state-parameter ensemble Kalman filter (EnKF). Resulting binary wet/dry maps here expressed terms wet surface ratios (WSRs) over number subdomains...
The European Space Agency (ESA) Soil Moisture and Ocean Salinity (SMOS) has been providing the longest consistent data record of passive L-band (1.4 GHz) observations for more than ten years. SMOS, as well NASA missions SMAP Aquarius have demonstrated interest land, ocean cryosphere studies. continuity must be assured taking into account that spatial resolution (~ 40 km) SMOS is too coarse some applications. Disaggregation strategies can implemented but using airborne data, we show quality...
The Soil Moisture and Ocean Salinity (SMOS) satellite has provided, for the very first time, systematic passive L-band (1420−1427 MHz) measurements from space with a spatial resolution of ~50 Km. This contribution presents preliminary results studies conducted High Resolution (HR) follow-on mission. SMOS-HR project is currently undergoing Phase 0 study by French agency. goal to ensure continuity while increasing ~10 Km without degrading radiometric sensitivity keeping revisit time 3 days unchanged.
Floods are the most common natural disasters all over world and they increasing in frequency intensity due to climate changes. The Space for Climate Observatory (SCO)-FloodDAM-DT project with a joint collaboration effort between CNES, NASA's partners JPL is devoted developing federated Earth System Digital Twin (ESDT) water-cycle applications focused on flood events. In particular, SCO-FloodDAM-DT aims provide an automated pre-operational service reliably detect, monitor assess floods at...

The Chinese-French oceanography satellite, CFOSAT, was launched on October 2018. Two Ku-band scatterometers are on-board: SCAT for the wind observation and SWIM wave observation. After a first phase mainly dedicated to validation identification of improvement possibilities, ground processing products generated were upgraded. This paper presents main evolutions implemented their positive impacts data quality.
Flooding is represented with a 2D hydrodynamic model over reach of the Ohio river between Cannelton and Newburgh locks dams. The geometry floodplain was provided by National Oceanic Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), based on U.S. Army Corps Engineers (USACE) survey channel data merged United States Geological Survey (USGS) LiDAR in overbank regions. description hydraulic structures from USACE in-situ water depth measurements USGS stations were also used. Working 1D HEC-RAS University that...
In spite of astonishing advances and developments in remote sensing technologies, meeting the spatio-temporal requirements for flood hydrodynamic modeling remains a great challenge Earth Observation.
