Objectives and General Description
New and emerging satellite missions will soon produce a more clear picture of the hydrosphere than ever before. It is necessary at this time to synthesize the current status of hydrologic remote sensing and determine what are the necessary next steps for the study of the water cycle. Targeted areas of interest include Precipitation, Snow and Cold Regions, Groundwater and Surface Water Storage, Soil Moisture, and Evapotranspiration. These topics areas are closely aligned with new or upcoming NASA and international satellite missions, and appropriate representatives will be sought to summarize their contribution to the overall study of the water cycle.
Format and Schedule
Each meeting day will consist of morning and afternoon sessions, beginning with a keynote lecture, and then continuing with a session on each of the main focus areas:
- Precipitation
- Snow and Cold Regions
- Groundwater and Surface Water Storage
- Soil Moisture
- Evapotranspiration
Fields of Interest
This conference seeks input on remote sensing of many hydrologic disciplines including Precipitation, Snow and Cold Regions, Groundwater and Surface Water Storage, Soil Moisture, and Evapotranspiration.
