Abstract
Advancements in satellite technology yield environmental data with ever improving spatial coverage and temporal resolution. This necessitates the development of techniques to discern actionable information from large amounts of such data. We explore the potential of dynamic mode decomposition (DMD) to discover the dynamics of spatially correlated structures present in global-scale data, specifically in observations of total water storage anomalies provided by GRACE satellite missions. Our results demonstrate that DMD enables data compression and extrapolation from a reduced set of dominant spatiotemporal structures. The accuracy of its predictions of global system dynamics is preserved in its reconstruction of local time series. These findings suggest potential uses of DMD in analysis of remote-sensing data for hydrologic applications.
期刊介绍:
Advances in Water Resources provides a forum for the presentation of fundamental scientific advances in the understanding of water resources systems. The scope of Advances in Water Resources includes any combination of theoretical, computational, and experimental approaches used to advance fundamental understanding of surface or subsurface water resources systems or the interaction of these systems with the atmosphere, geosphere, biosphere, and human societies. Manuscripts involving case studies that do not attempt to reach broader conclusions, research on engineering design, applied hydraulics, or water quality and treatment, as well as applications of existing knowledge that do not advance fundamental understanding of hydrological processes, are not appropriate for Advances in Water Resources.
Examples of appropriate topical areas that will be considered include the following:
• Surface and subsurface hydrology
• Hydrometeorology
• Environmental fluid dynamics
• Ecohydrology and ecohydrodynamics
• Multiphase transport phenomena in porous media
• Fluid flow and species transport and reaction processes
