Recent changes to Arctic river discharge Nature Comm.
The authors examine the changes in Arctive river discharge from three aspects: 1. trend analysis, 2. inttermetency, and 3. timing of freshet
In doing so, they extracted Landsat-derived discharge data using river width as proxy. Then, they assimilate these data to two popular global large dataset.
CYGNSS
A nice blog introducing what CYGNSS can do in Atmospheric Science or Hydrology:https://earthobservatory.nasa.gov/blogs/fromthefield/2021/12/15/five-years-and-counting-happy-birthday-to-the-cygnss-octuplets/
- Hurricane tracks
- River outflow to ocean
- Flood inundation extent
- Soil moisture
The authors find five soil moisture products (i.e., four from satellite and one from land surface model) to analyze their uncertainties and limitations using Triple Collocation. They also fused satellite products into land surface models to improve the accuracy. They can attribute the pixels gained greatest improvement to each satellite soil moisture product.

Placement bias of the global river gauge network
Assessing placement bias of the global river gauge network Installed gauges favor high human footprint, developed regions while ignoring rural regions. This paper calls attention to where should next gauges be installed.
