The presentation will introduce some of the research activities associated with remote sensing applications in water studies at the Canada Centre for Remote Sensing (CCRS), including the production of Longterm Satellite Data Records (LTSDRs) and Value-added Products (VAP), SMOS and SMAP satellite soil moisture products downscaling , GRACE satellite data application in drought characterization, flood forecasting, and climate change impacts on glacier/permanent snow melt, remote sensing-based modelling of surface evapotranspiration and groundwater recharge, as well as assessment of water budget closure at different spatial and temporal scales.
