Satellite microwave radiometry for regional hydrological cycle analysis.

In the report the possibilities of satellite microwave radiometry for solving the problems of analysis (monitoring parameters) of the regional hydrological cycle are considered and illustrated by specific practical examples. The general approach is to consider the components of the balance equation of total atmospheric moisture content over a given territory. Changes in this value are determined by two processes: advection (horizontal transport) of air masses of different humidities, and vertical exchange (between the atmosphere and the surface.

The practical possibilities of analyzing the components of this balance equation are determined by The progress of satellite radiophysical methods:

  1. reconstruction of integral atmospheric moisture content fields over land;
  2. reconstruction of effective fields based on the sequence of satellite observations of the water vapor advection velocity.

Due to this it becomes possible to calculate the vertical moisture exchange component integral on the considered territory and on the observation time interval, which for the analysis of the regional hydrological balance appears to be methodologically methodologically more justified than extrapolation of "instantaneous" satellite and/or "point intensity of precipitation and evaporation is methodologically justified than extrapolation of "instantaneous" and/or "point" satellite estimates. The developed methodology is proposed to for analysis of hydrological regime of large rivers (including forecast of strong floods) floods), drought and other extreme weather events. The proposed approach is illustrated in the report by examples of analysis of hydrological balance of Ob and Amur River watershed territories in comparison with available data hydrological stations and reanalysis data. Further ways and prospects of its development are discussed.
