Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

As one of the most important hydrological variables, streamflow information is an important component that is commonly required to evaluate how much water is available in different locations, for both human societies and natural ecosystems. The impacts of climate change and anthropogenic processes on the available water have been an especially important issue in certain areas, but the lack of effective models and long-term streamflow observation data and their associated uncertainties makes it challenging to assess the impacts in many parts of the world. The purpose of the proposed Special Issue on "Remote Sensing for Streamflow Simulation II" is to present an integrated approach to streamflow modelling that incorporates and combines new hydro-meteorological information including satellite-based, airborne and ground-based observations, in order to foster a scientific framework for better understanding the impact of climate and social-environmental change on water resources.

Topics to be addressed include but are not limited to the following:

  • Streamflow observation using active and passive remote sensing techniques.
  • Spatial and temporal downscaling of large-scale remote sensing observations for local streamflow simulation.
  • Use of in situ and remote sensing observations of hydrologic processes for a better simulation of streamflow.
  • The development and use of physically or statistically based models (or combined models) to simulate streamflow, dealing with their associated uncertainties—especially hydrological models using satellite-based products.
  • Data fusion/assimilation of streamflow between remote sensing observation and hydrological model simulation.
  • Remote sensing of precipitation, soil moisture and its relationship with streamflow under changing climate.

Runoff estimations play an important role in water resource planning and management. Many accomplishments have been made in runoff estimations based on data recorded at meteorological stations; however, the advantages of the use of remotely sensed data in estimating runoff in watersheds for which data are lacking remain to be investigated. In this study, the MOD13A2 normalized difference vegetation index (NDVI), TRMM3B43 precipitation (P), MOD11A2 land–surface temperature (LST), MOD16A2 evapotranspiration (ET) and hydrological station data were used as data sources with which to estimate the monthly runoff through the application of a fully connected long short–term memory (LSTM) model in the upstream reach of the Heihe River basin in China from 2001 to 2016. The results showed that inputting multiple remote sensing parameters improved the quality of runoff estimation compared to the use of rain gauge observations; an increase in R2 from 0.91 to 0.94 was observed from the implementation of this process, and Nash–Sutcliffe efficiency (NSE) showed an improvement from 0.89 to 0.93. The incorporation of rain gauge data as well as satellite data provided a slight improvement in estimating runoff with a respective R2 value of 0.95 and NSE value of 0.94. This indicates that the LSTM model based on remote sensing data has great potential for runoff estimation, and data obtained by remote sensing technology provide an alternative approach for estimating runoff in areas for which available data are lacking.
