Abstract: AbstractRiver discharge estimation requires knowledge of bathymetry. However, aside from a few locations where surveys have been conducted, bathymetric data are unavailable, even for major rivers. It has been suggested that water surface elevation and flow width measurements from the upcoming Surface Water and Ocean Topography (SWOT) satellite mission (planned launch 2021) may be used to infer the submerged channel geometry; however, the full potential of these measurements for inferring bathymetry has yet to be explored. We apply four differen... (read more)
