Hosted by: Lee-Lueng Fu, Hydrosphere Mapper Doug Alsdorf, WATER Funding from CNES, JPL, and NASA Welcome to a Joint Meeting of Ocean Sciences and Surface Water Hydrology in Support of Wide-Swath Altimetry Measurements

Monday: 9:00 - 9:15: Welcome and opening remarks, Lee Fu, Doug Alsdorf 9: :45: Overview of Wide-Swath Science and Technology Doug Alsdorf, Lee Fu, Ernesto Rodriguez 10: :00: Coffee Break 11: :00: Space Agency Wide-Swath Activities NASA Lucia Tsaoussi; NASA Tony Freeman; CNES Eric Thouvenot, Herve Jeanjean 12:00 - 5:25: Action Item Discussions: Science Thrusts & Requirements Ocean and Coastal Zone Jim McWilliams, Dudley Chelton, David Glover, Ted Strub, Baptiste Mourre 12:25 - 1:30: Lunch Break 3:05 - 3:20: Coffee Break Coastal Zone and Terrestrial Surface Waters Gregg Jacobs, Dennis Lettenmaier, Paul Bates, Larry Smith, John Melack

Tuesday: 8:30 - 9:15: Discussion to Form Consensus on Science Thrusts & Requirements from Monday: led by Lee Fu, Doug Alsdorf 9: :30: Action Item Discussions: Mission Orbits & Data Requirements Don Chambers, Richard Ray, Ernesto Rodriguez, Tony Freeman 10: :50: Coffee Break 11: :00: Action Item Discussions: Next Steps  Writing of Meeting Report, leading to publishable manuscript, on the consensus of science thrusts, science requirements, mission orbits, data requirements, and participating agencies.  Fall AGU Wide-Swath Session; opportunity for further discussions with much broader community.  Determine next meeting. Should it be timed with funding opportunity, or with need for very broad community support, or during an international meeting?

Meeting Goals and Expected Outcomes Solidify our joint community of ocean sciences and surface water hydrology Define the wide-swath mission Science & applications drivers Orbital coverage Sun synchronous, non-sun synchronous, spatial coverage requirements (i.e., max latitude, max gap size), temporal sampling requirements vs. latitude Spatial resolutions Sub-100 m for rivers to 1 km for oceans Height and slope precision and accuracy Science, technology, and cost trade-offs Ka vs Ku band Publish these in peer-reviewed journal

Summary of Surface Water Presentations and Discussions Water balance for entire basin: P – E = ΔS + R ΔS + R directly addressed by WATER/HM concept We do not know how much water is available in U.S., i.e., the world We do not know the spatial and temporal dynamics of terrestrial water Arctic hydrology is changing in a locally heterogeneous manner Varying dh/dt for lakes Will impact global water, energy, and carbon cycles Tropical surface water contributes greatly to global terrestrial water and carbon balance Discharge, storage changes, and wetland flow dynamics are poorly measured e.g., Hydrostatic pressure relates to bubble flux Models and Measurements Hydrodynamic models, i.e., Floods are natural hazard of greatest impact well-established but h, dh/dt, and dh/dx constraints are nearly non-existent Predictions of floods (extent, elevation, force) are not constrained Data assimilation is producing Q, permits testing of spatial and temporal sampling No existing measurements fulfill 2D mapping of h, dh/dt, and dh/dx Existing measurements are h and dh/dt at 1D points from existing altimetry and in-situ; flow is 2D and complex

Action Items Initialize the risk-reduction stage of the WATER Hydrosphere Mapper concept. Articulate joint science goals Terrestrial water storage changes and sea level rise Large lakes have similar sub-meso-scale processes as oceans Flux from rivers and oceans impact estuaries and coastal zone Arctic hydrology will be sampled near daily and could be tied to Arctic ocean circulation Identify cost trade-offs related to spatial and temporal sampling of surface waters, coastal zones, and some open ocean (i.e., data rate issues) Aliasing issues based on wide-swath, update orbit studies Form a science working group with ocean, terrestrial surface water, estuaries, limnology, societal benefits Potential benefits from “ties” to other mission, e.g., ICESat 2, GPS occultations Make international partnership with CNES Produce meeting report with possible peer-reviewed publication, and EOS note. Change WATER web page to WATER Hydrosphere Mapper and invite participants to the joint mission concept.
