| 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. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
| In 2009, we
are testing and calibrating the several thousand river measurement points in
this display. |
