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.
