37 1. The Problem In-situ cannot measure this 3. Measurements Required maps of h, which give maps of dh/dt and dh/dx Perspective view of dh/dt Ohio R. from SRTM dh/dx h Floods are the number one hazard 2. The Question What is the spatial and temporal variability of freshwater stored in the world s terrestrial water bodies? bprc.osu.edu/water 4. The Solution KaRIN: Ka-band Radar Interferometer. SRTM, WSOA heritage. Maps of h globally and ~weekly. 37
