Fig. 5. Example Measurement Error Errors are roughly normally distributed about a mean of zero and standard deviation of 15 cm for a given image at 50 m pixel resolution (~140,000 pixels)
Fig. 9. Results-Depth • Without EnKF • RMSE = 26.6 cm • 5.4% relative error • With EnKF • RMSE = 7.7 cm • 1.8% relative error
Fig. 11. Results-Depth • Without observations • R2=0.912 • With observations • R2=0.992
Fig. 12. Results-Discharge • Without EnKF • RMSE = 101.5 m3/s • 8.8% relative error • With EnKF • RMSE = 29.7 m3/s • 3.2% relative error
Fig. 14. Results-Discharge • Without observations • R2=0.913 • With observations • R2=0.992
Future Research Needs • Implementation that includes floodplain flow • Model formulation error representation • Model parameters error representation (Manning’s n, channel width, elevation) • Model forcing error representation (temperature) • Seasonal performance
Future Research Needs (cont.) • Temporal and spatial sampling sensitivity analysis • Implementation in different hydrologic environments (Amazon, Arctic, arid regions) • Derivation of hydraulic model parameters (channel width, bed elevation, channel location) from remotely-sensed data • Inclusion of tributaries
