In this paper, a forward model is developed to determine the increased water surface level corresponding to GRACE observations, estimated to be about 120 m. In contrast to GRACE, the TWS derived from land surface models cannot capture the increased ΔTWS, due to the lack of reservoir routing algorithms in the models. In addition, the land subsidence was calculated using the disk load model constructed based on the GRACE-derived lake level and Landsat-derived lake extent; the result is validated with the GPS data from BIN1 station, located at the western coast of Borneo. The commencement stage of the Bakun Dam induces the large-scale land subsidence, which causes the GPS-BIN1 station to subside by ~9 mm, and move toward the Bakun Lake by ~4 mm. Computation of the surface displacements directly from GRACE spherical harmonic coefficient data fails to capture the subsidence feature, mainly due to the truncation error. Overall, this study demonstrates that evaluating GRACE in conjunction with Landsat, LSMs, and GPS data allows the exploitation of the gravity signal at a much smaller spatial scale than its intrinsic resolution. Benefiting from global coverage, the newly developed satellite-based algorithm is a valuable tool for assessing the impacts of reservoir operation on hydrological and geophysical changes from local to regional scales.]]> Tue 14 May 2024 10:25:42 AEST ]]> Quantifying the precision of retracked Jason-2 sea level data in the 0-5 km Australian coastal zone https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:43847 0.8) in the 0–5 km distance band, indicating that coastal sea-level data are useful for applications such as estimation of river plumes, long-term variation of water level in lakes and rivers, and the analysis of storm surges]]> Tue 04 Oct 2022 11:53:33 AEDT ]]> Improving precision of high-rate altimeter sea level anomalies by removing the sea state bias and intra-1-Hz covariant error https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:40002 Tue 04 Jul 2023 16:22:38 AEST ]]> Soil moisture profile estimation under bare and vegetated soils using combined L-band and P-band radiometer observations: An incoherent modeling approach https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:55847 Tue 02 Jul 2024 11:40:56 AEST ]]> Evaluation of the SMOS L-MEB passive microwave soil moisture retrieval algorithm https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:7149 Sat 24 Mar 2018 08:34:21 AEDT ]]> A proposed extension to the soil moisture and ocean salinity level 2 algorithm for mixed forest and moderate vegetation pixels https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:17522 Sat 24 Mar 2018 08:03:53 AEDT ]]> Monitoring of wetland inundation dynamics in the Delmarva Peninsula using Landsat time-series imagery from 1985 to 2011 https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:31073 p < 0.01, whereas inundation changes in inland wetland areas were in part driven by precipitation with r2 values of 25–34% and p < 0.08.

Moreover, the noise level of 2 Hz Sentinel-3A SLAs is comparable to that of the 1 Hz MBP-derived Jason-3 dataset, indicating that Sentinel-3A can provide precise SLAs at finer spatial scales. The Root Mean Square Error (RMSE) of differences between the tide gauge SLA time series and the equivalent SLA time series at each along-track altimeter point was used to assess pointwise data quality. For both Sentinel-3A and MBP-retracked Jason-3, the along-track RMSEs of 20 Hz SLAs vary between 0.05 m and 0.2 m. The mean and standard deviation (STD) of 1 Hz SLA differences at crossover points were computed for each individual altimetry mission to assess overall data quality. When compared with the crossover analysis results, the quality of Sentinel-3A SLAs is superior to that of the retracked Jason-3 dataset in terms of smaller STDs at crossover points (8.8 cm vs. 10.7 cm).]]> Sat 08 Oct 2022 12:43:53 AEDT ]]> Calibrating a hydrological model in a regional river of the Qinghai-Tibet plateau using river water width determined from high spatial resolution satellite images https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:43004 Fri 09 Sep 2022 14:17:21 AEST ]]>
