For two decades, satellite altimetry has been proven to be suitable for monitoring inland water bodies such as rivers, lakes, reservoirs and wetlands. The measurement techniques is based on measuring the run-time time of the emitted radar pulse from the satellite to the water surface and back.
The basin hydrological outlook indicates a period of high-river and lake water levels, sustained high lake inflows, and heightened risk of flooding across various regions, particularly along the White Nile.
Water Level from Satellite Altimetry. Period: 2002-07-15 07:59:03 - 2016-05-04 16:01:35. Data Points: 110. Min./Max./Avg. Height: 307.25 m / 312.925 m / 308.954 m. Height Variations: 5.675 m.
The data of the following altimeter missions and corresponding passes have been used for the estimation of the water level time series. An additional '*' indicates that an additional retracking of the altimeter measurements was performed.
