This display uses NASA/JAXA AMSR-E data (Ashcroft, P., and Wentz, F., 2006, updated daily, AMSR-E/Aqua L2A Global Swath Spatially-Resampled Brightness Temperatures V002, Boulder, Colorado USA, National Snow and Ice Data Center)

to estimate river discharge at over 2500 selected river measurement sites.
