Abstract

A comprehensive monitoring system for California water resources would be greatly enhanced by the large-scale view afforded by satellite remote sensing. Several current and near-future satellite missions have now demonstrated the capability for monitoring soil moisture, snow water equivalent, heights of inland water bodies (e.g. rivers, lakes, reservoirs) and changes in total water storage. The goal of this work is to exploit these current and emerging capabilities to develop a framework for monitoring California water resources from space.
