Dear researchers,
I am using Sentinel 3 SRAL level 2 Lan data for calculating water level for a tidal river in India. Can anyone share me some information about papers related to satellite altimetry focussed on tidal rivers?
Acoustic Doppler Current Profilers (ADCPs)ADCPs can be deployed in the river to measure water velocity and depth simultaneously. By processing ADCP data, we can derive water level information, particularly during tidal cycles, aiding in understanding flow dynamics.
Hydrological Modeling Implementing hydrological models, calibrated with observed water level data, can simulate tidal behaviors and predict future water levels under different scenarios. This approach enhances our predictive capabilities and supports decision-making processes.
Thanks Ms Sanju. We used ADCP to collect river discharge and river stage simultaneously but the issue is that we are finding it difficult to develop even rating curve also because the time of survey coincides with the tidal effect and backwater effect. Please suggest a simple procedure to develop water level retrieval algorithm.
