An evaluation of the potential of Sentinel 1 for improving flash flood predictions via soil moisture–data assimilation

The assimilation of satellite-derived soil moisture estimates (soil moisture–data assimilation, SM–DA) into hydrological models has the potential to reduce the uncertainty of streamflow simulations. The improved capacity to monitor the closeness to saturation of small catchments, such as those c...
