abstract = "{Variations in surface water extent and storage are poorly characterized
from regional to global scales. In this study, a multi-satellite
approach is proposed to estimate the water stored in the
floodplains of the Orinoco Basin at a monthly time-scale using
remotely-sensed observations of surface water from the Global
Inundation Extent Multi-Satellite (GIEMS) and stages from
Envisat radar altimetry. Surface water storage variations over
2003-2007 exhibit large interannual variability and a strong
seasonal signal, peaking during summer, and associated with the
flood pulse. The volume of surface water storage in the Orinoco
Basin was highly correlated with the river discharge at Ciudad
Bolivar (R = 0.95), the closest station to the mouth where
discharge was estimated, although discharge lagged one month
behind storage. The correlation remained high (R = 0.73) after
removing seasonal effects. Mean annual variations in surface
water volume represented \raisebox{-0.5ex}\textasciitilde170
km$^{3}$, contributing to \raisebox{-0.5ex}\textasciitilde45\%
of the Gravity Recovery and Climate Experiment (GRACE)-derived
total water storage variations and representing
\raisebox{-0.5ex}\textasciitilde13\% of the total volume of
water that flowed out of the Orinoco Basin to the Atlantic
Ocean.}",
