Area-elevation mode

This is a reservoir water surface area and water levels dataset including 32 major reservoirs in Mekong River basin. For all the 32 reservoirs, water levels were inverted by using improved DEM-derived A-E model (combined with actual reservoir parameters limitation), improved DEM-derived A-E model (combined with actual reservoir parameters limitation) or satellite-derived A-E model based on the Landsat-derived surface area. An initial time series was constructed based on the optimal improved A-E model according to their own altimetry data availability.
