Satellite Remote Sensing
摘要
Satellite remote sensing plays a pivotal role in assessing the Lake Victoria Basin’s (LVB) water dynamics. Space-based observations track changes in total water storage—including groundwater, soil moisture, and surface water—using GRACE gravimetry and altimetry data. Precipitation patterns are monitored by missions like TRMM and GPM, while evapotranspiration is derived from MODIS and SEBAL models. Runoff estimates integrate satellite data with hydrological modeling, providing a comprehensive understanding of the basin’s water balance.
