Flood Inundation Modeling Using the Surface Water Ocean Topography Mission

open access: yesWater Resources Research, Volume 62, Issue 7, July 2026.
Abstract Flood risk mapping requires detailed river bathymetry, yet these data are unavailable for most rivers. We propose a new algorithm to estimate river bathymetry from multitemporal observations of water height by the Surface Water and Ocean Topography (SWOT) mission.
