Abstract

Monitoring continental water flows is required to meet human needs and to assess ongoing climate changes. However, regular gauging networks fail to provide the information needed for spatial coverage and timely delivery. Although the missions did not initially focus on hydrology, ten years of satellite altimetry have furnished complementary data that can be used for the creation of such hydrological products as time series of stages, discharges, river altitude profiles or levelling of in-situ stations. However, raw data still suffer uncertainties from one to several decimetres and require specific reprocessing of raw data, such as waveform retracking or geophysical correction editing.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
