Abstract

This document is an editorial for a special issue of the journal "Remote Sensing" that focuses on monitoring terrestrial water resources using satellite sensors. The editorial acknowledges the increasing demand for water resources and the importance of accurately evaluating and tracking them. It discusses the advantages of using satellite technologies for monitoring water resources and highlights studies in the special issue that cover topics such as water body extraction, flood mapping, and coastal wetland dynamics monitoring. The editorial also mentions the use of specific satellite sensors, like satellite altimeters and satellite imagery, for acquiring surface water information. It addresses the challenges of acquiring 3D information about surface water and emphasizes the need to combine satellite observation with model simulation to improve monitoring and understanding of the water cycle. The authors suggest incorporating newly released satellite data, such as SWOT, to enhance the acquisition of information on inland areas, coastal areas, and oceans. [Extracted from the article]
