  1. Towards Remote Sensing for Hydrologic Prediction in Ungauged Basins Jeffrey Walker Dept of Civil and Env Engg, University of Melbourne, Australia http://www.civenv.unimelb.edu.au/~jwalker

  2. The Challenge …. • In-situ observations: cover almost nothing but most of the time • Aircraft observations: cover almost everything but hardly ever • Satellite observations: cover everythingall of the time but not what we want • Modelling: pretends to cover everythingall of the time

  3. Hydrologic Prediction • Fluxes • Evapotranspiration • Sensible Heat Flux • Runoff • Drainage • Forcing • Precipitation • Radiation • Wind • Humidity • Air Temperature RO= P - ET –SM –GW -SWE • Parameters • Vegetation Properties • Topography • Soil Properties • States • Soil Moisture • Groundwater • Snow    met. inputs model parameters and physics prediction
