  abstract = {{A}s the largest river basin on {E}arth, the {A}mazon is of major importance to the world's climate and water resources. {O}ver the past decades, advances in satellite-based remote sensing ({RS}) have brought our understanding of its terrestrial water cycle and the associated hydrological processes to a new era. {H}ere, we review major studies and the various techniques using satellite {RS} in the {A}mazon. {W}e show how {RS} played a major role in supporting new research and key findings regarding the {A}mazon water cycle, and how the region became a laboratory for groundbreaking investigations of new satellite retrievals and analyses. {A}t the basin-scale, the understanding of several hydrological processes was only possible with the advent of {RS} observations, such as the characterization of "rainfall hotspots" in the {A}ndes-{A}mazon transition, evapotranspiration rates, and variations of surface waters and groundwater storage. {T}hese results strongly contribute to the recent advances of hydrological models and to our new understanding of the {A}mazon water budget and aquatic environments. {I}n the context of upcoming hydrology-oriented satellite missions, which will offer the opportunity for new synergies and new observations with finer space-time resolution, this review aims to guide future research agenda toward integrated monitoring and understanding of the {A}mazon water from space. {I}ntegrated multidisciplinary studies, fostered by international collaborations, set up future directions to tackle the great challenges the {A}mazon is currently facing, from climate change to increased anthropogenic pressure.},
