Figure 1.5 Cumulative frequency curve (in % of papers) of each of platforms/sensors cited in the 200 papers of the Web of Science
dealing with rivers and remote sensing. We compared the temporal evolution of frequency for the terms ''Remote sensing'' and
''River management'' in the 200 studied manuscript within the whole Web of Science dataset.
