AmazonSWE dataset and model improve water surface elevation imputation

Researchers have developed a new dataset called AmazonSWE and a corresponding model designed to improve the imputation of water surface elevation data. This dataset, which covers over 19,000 river sections in the Amazon basin over a decade, integrates satellite altimetry measurements, including data from the SWOT sensor, and is significantly sparser than existing benchmarks. The proposed bidirectional selective state space model demonstrates superior performance compared to current state-of-the-art methods, reducing RMSE against in-situ gauges by 18-39% and providing predictions for all river sections.

    A Dataset and Model for Imputing Water Surface Elevation on a Large and Extremely Sparse Spatiotemporal Graph

    arXiv:2609.11580v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Continuous monitoring of water surface elevation across river networks is critical for flood forecasting, water resource management, and understanding the global water cycle. Yet, the scarcity of in situ gauges across much of the gl…
