2 Surface Current Measurements by Along-Track InSAR Launched in June 2007! Shuttle Radar Topography TerraSAR-X AeS-1 AirSAR Mission, (AeroSensing, (NASA-JPL, (DLR / SRTM Infoterra, 1989) 2001) (NASA 2007) / DLR / ASI, 2000) (NASA) (EADS) Two SAR antennas acquire images with short time lag Phase differences are proportional to line-of-sight velocities Imaging of surface current fields in SAR quality

3 Project AnaNAF Analysen zur Nutzbarkeit zukünftiger Satellitendaten für f r die Fernerkundung des Ausstroms von Flüssen (Analyses on the Usability of Upcoming Satellite Data for the Remote Sensing of River Runoff) Project phase: Evaluation of the potential of current measurements in rivers by spaceborne along-track InSARs Measuring accuracy of upcoming InSARs for different scenarios (river width, shape, surface roughness,, etc.) Relation between measured surface currents and depth-averaged currents Applicability to major rivers all around the world Investigation on the suitability and achievable accuracy of combining various remote sensing techniques / strategies Current measurements by along-track InSAR and water level measurements by radar altimeter Sampling problems Requirements for utilization of models and additional data Development and demonstration of a data synthesis system for global river runoff monitoring

4 SRTM Example: Elbe River (Germany) Mean Difference = 0.08 m/s Correlation coefficient = 0.85 Line-of-sight current current from from TerraSAR-X SRTM Line-of-sight Model current current in look from direction SRTM of simulation SRTM Estimated corresponding total total current Total Estimated current corresponding according to numerical total current model Lateral current variations are resolved Good agreement with InSAR model Similar data quality is predicted for TerraSAR-X

5 3-D High-Resolution Model Data of Elbe River Cuxhaven Brunsbüttel Glückstadt Hamburg 3-D model of currents, water levels, water depths from Federal Waterways Engineering and Research Institute (BAW) Temporal coverage: Complete neap-spring tide cycle (17 days), resolution: 10 min Spatial resolution: Gridded to 100 m

6 Discharge Estimation Q ref = A V m A = cross-sectional sectional area; V m = average velocity Q est(v 0.85) = A V s 0.85 A = cross-sectional sectional area; V s = surface velocity Brunsbüttel Q est(vs/w) = k 3 V s W Brunsbüttel k 3 = 0.05; W = surface width; V s = surface velocity Bjerklie et al. (2005) Without fitting, only using width and surface velocity, Ref. Runoff Net runoff (m³/s) 758 transports are resolved Est. Runoff (V s 0.85) 1886 Est. Runoff (V s /W) 1675

7 Temporal Sampling Considerations phase variations in the tidal cycle within 17 days

8 Conclusions Along-track InSAR permits surface current measurements in rivers from satellites TerraSAR-X X (launched June 2007) experimental InSAR mode available in 2008 Project AnaNAF: : Investigations on usability for river runoff estimates Volume transport estimates from surface currents and widths appear feasible Spatial and temporal sampling by spaceborne sensors is an important issue Outlook Development of improved volume transport and net discharge estimate algorithms Realistic satellite sampling simulations Combination of along-track InSAR and altimeter measurements (WatER-HM) Analysis of applicability to major rivers around the world Demonstration with actual TerraSAR-X data before end of project
