One product is Non Time Critical, NTC, water heights and the other is Near Real Time, NRT, height available within 24 hours of monitoring. The map below shows NRT and NTC water heights for rivers wider than 300 meters and lakes larger than 0.1 km^2. A 80% threshold of water occurence based on data from Global Surface Water Explorer. The mean water level is estimated with the R package tsHydro when sufficient data is available. Alternatively the median is used.
