Overview of remote sensing data that may be useful for hydrological analysis

Institute Satellite Sensor Notes
ESA ENVISAT ASAR APG HH and HV -> delineation of water bodies
NASA ?? AVHRR http://www.nsof.class.noaa.gov, cloud cover
NASA EOS AQUA AMSR-E ??
ESA METEOSAT ?? MSG-1 aka Meteosat-8 (launched 2002) carries the Spinning Enhanced Visible and Infrared Imager (SEVIRI). SEVIRI continuously the entire earth disk at a frequency of 15 minutes and has 12 spectral channels, 8 of which can be used for monitoring the earth surface. Channel 12 is a high resolution visible (hrv) channel, which has a resolution of 1 km at the sub-satellite point (1.5 – 2 km over Europe). All of the other channels have a spatial resolution of 3 km at the sub-satellite point (5 – 6 km over Europe).
??? MERIS ?? NDVI? CLOUD COVER? 260x290m
NASA TRMM ?? 25x25km resolution (0.25°), rainfall
NASA ASTER ?? temperature, reflectance, elevation. On demand, and does not seem to exist for the tropical Andes
NASA TERRA/AQUA MODIS http://www.landcover.org
