Locating Manning-based Satellite Gauging Reach for River Discharge Estimation from Remotely Sensed Imagery

<p>River discharge is critical for understanding river hydrological condition and water resource management. With the advance of earth observation technologies, estimating river discharge through remote sensing using Manning&#39;s Equation has become more and more popular for filling the gaps in gauging observations. However, finding a Manning-based Satellite Gauging Reach (MSGR) that can successfully transfer satellite signals into river discharge based on the Equation is not easy and lacks proper guidance. Theredore, we provide a practical approach for locating MSGR.<br> The manuscript is currently under review by Water Resources Research.<br> This repositry is the data for reproducing the figures in our manuscript.</p> <p>This repositry consists of four part.
