UMR5563 UR154 CNRS IRD UPS, Observatoire Midi-Pyrenees 14 avenue Edouard Belin, Toulouse, 31400, France AB: Frappart et al. (RSE, 2005) studied the floodplain volume variation in the Rio Negro basin, using the sole TOPEX/POSEIDON (T/P) GDR's data. In this study, river main stream and their linked floodplains could not be separated, due to the course effective resolution of these data. We have processed both data of ENVISAT RA2 altimeter, and retracked T/P data. The T/P data have been retracked with three of the ENVISAT trackers (Ocean, Ice1, Ice2). We present results of the comparison between the capability of each sensor and tracker to discriminate small water bodies including river main stream and floodplain. Using an original 3D method for defining virtual stations, we computed time series of water stage for each individual inundated area. This time series evidence the great spatial variability of the hydrological cycle, depending on the connection and the relative location between the main stream and lakes.
