In this paper, we present a simple yet robust method for fusing optical and Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) data for mapping surface water dynamics over mainland China. This method uses a multivariate logistic regression model to estimate monthly surface water extent over a four-year period (2017 to 2020) from the combined usages of Sentinel-1, Sentinel-2 and Landsat-8 imagery. Multi-seasonal high-resolution images from the Chinese Gaofen satellites are used as a reference for an independent validation showing a high degree of agreement (overall accuracy 94%) across a diversity of climatic and physiographic regions demonstrating potential scalability beyond China. Through inter-comparison with similar global scale products, this paper further shows how this new mapping technique provides improved spatio-temporal characterization of inland water bodies, and for better capturing smaller water bodies (&lt; 0.81 ha in size). The relevance of the results is discussed, and we find this new enhanced monitoring approach has the potential to advance the use of Earth observation for water resource management, planning and reporting.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/rs13091663","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2021,4,25]],"date-time":"2021-04-25T02:12:57Z","timestamp":1619316777000},"page":"1663","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":63,"title":["An Optical and SAR Based Fusion Approach for Mapping Surface Water Dynamics over Mainland China"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"13","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-4652-5158","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Daniel","family":"Druce","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"DHI GRAS, Agern Alle 5, 2970 H\u00f8rsholm, Denmark"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Xiaoye","family":"Tong","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Geosciences and Natural Resource Management (IGN), University of Copenhagen, 1350 Copenhagen, Denmark"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-3640-2063","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Xia","family":"Lei","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Piesat Information Technology Co., Ltd., Beijing 100000, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Tao","family":"Guo","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Piesat Information Technology Co., Ltd., Beijing 100000, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-7711-9726","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Cecile M.M.","family":"Kittel","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"DHI GRAS, Agern Alle 5, 2970 H\u00f8rsholm, Denmark"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Kenneth","family":"Grogan","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"DHI GRAS, Agern Alle 5, 2970 H\u00f8rsholm, Denmark"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Christian","family":"Tottrup","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"DHI GRAS, Agern Alle 5, 2970 H\u00f8rsholm, Denmark"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2021,4,24]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","unstructured":"Smith, M., and Clausen, T.J.
