  abstract = {{R}ating curve estimation (height-stream relation) made by hydrometric stations representing cross-sections of a river is one of hydrometrics' fundamental tasks due to the fact that it leads to deducing a river's average daily flow on that particular section. {T}his information is fundamental in any attempt at hydrological modelling. {H}owever, the number of hydrological control stations monitoring large hydrological basins has been reduced worldwide. {S}pace hydrology studies during the last five years have shown that satellite radar altimetry means that hydrological monitoring networks' available information can be densified due to the introduction of so-called virtual stations and the joint use of such information along with in-situ measured flow records for estimating expenditure curves at these stations. {T}his study presents the rating curves for 4 {E}nvisat virtual stations located on the main stream of the {O}rinoco {R}iver. {V}irtual stations' flows were estimated by using the {M}uskingum-{C}unge 1{D} model. {T}here was less than 1% error between measured and estimated flows. {T}he methodology led to reducing average zero flow depth; in this case, it led to depths ranging from 11 to 20 meters being found along the 130 km of the {O}rinoco {R}iver represented by the virtual stations being considered.},
