Over the past 18 months, a pilot system has been developed which has generated global lake and river level measurements from the Envisat RA-2. These data are produced within 3-5 days of measurement, using retracked Level 1B altimeter echoes merged with data from the IGDR to obtain both orbit and atmospheric/instrument corrections. A global version of this system has now been in operation for over 6 months. This paper presents an analysis of the results from this unique dataset, and demonstrates the current capabilities and future potential of radar altimeter measurements to monitor changing inland water resources in near real time. 1
