Multi-Sensor Monitoring System of Water Levels in Wetlands

Data used in the project:

The project has used datasets from different missions provided by various space agencies. All of the data are openly available and can be found at:

(1) Laser altimetry from ICESat-2 ATL08 [Data available at https://search.earthdata.nasa.gov/search?q=ATL08%20V006]
(2) Laser altimetry from GEDI L2A [Data available at https://search.earthdata.nasa.gov/search?q=C1908348134-LPDAAC_ECS]
(3) C-band Sentinel-1 data for interferometry [Data available at https://search.asf.alaska.edu/#/]
(4) Land cover maps derived from the Copernicus Land Cover (ANC18) product [Data available at: at https://lcviewer.vito.be/2019]
(5) Leaf Area Index (LAI) derived from the Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) MCD15A2H product [Data available at https://search.earthdata.nasa.gov/search?q=C2222147000-LPCLOUD]
(6) Ground-based water level and depth surface generated from the Everglades Depth Estimation Network (EDEN) [Data available at: https://sofia.usgs.gov/eden/models/watersurfacemod_download.php]

Data products of the project:

The project generates datasets that can be used for hydrological analysis. The products available so far are:
Dataset “Water levels and depths for the Everglades region 2020-2021 from the ICESat-2 ATL08 and GEDI L2A satellite laser altimetry products”: The dataset consists of 4 CSV files. The files provide water level and water depth values derived from the ICESat-2 ATL08 and GEDI 2AL laser altimetry products for different locations and dates within the Everglades region. The dataset also includes complementary information to perform statistical analysis. The complementary information consists of: (1) flag to identify night observations, (2) flag to identify the sensor beam type for the observation, (3) water level and water depth values from the Everglades Depth Estimation Network (EDEN) water surface products, (4) land cover information derived from the Copernicus Land Cover (ANC18) product; (5) Leaf Area Index (LAI) derived from the Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) MCD15A2H product.
The data set is available at https://dataverse.fiu.edu/dataset.xhtml?persistentId=doi:10.34703/gzx1-9v95/4JETAA
