- Copernicus Land Monitoring Service helpdesk (JRC-Copernicus-Land@ec.europa.eu)
The Water Level is defined as the height, in meters above the geoid, of the reflecting surface of continental water bodies. It is observed by space radar altimeters that measure the time it takes for radar pulses to reach the ground targets, directly below the spacecraft (nadir position), and return. Hence, only water bodies located along the satellite's ground tracks can be monitored, with a qual ... (read more)
