A near real-time system is described, which provides spatial information of inland flood
extent, using MOderate resolution Imaging Spectrometer (MODIS) optical reflectance and …

Accurate information concerning antecedent soil moisture conditions is a key source of
hydrologic forecasting skill for regional-scale flooding events occurring over time scales of …

Floods are among the most catastrophic natural disasters around the globe impacting
human lives and infrastructure. Implementation of a flood prediction system can potentially …

Discharge measurements are essential for a range of hydrologic applications. In situ
observations, however, are seldom available. Whereas satellite remote sensing offers a …

The potential of a rating curve model for flood monitoring is examined using SSM/I passive
microwave images and flow discharge data. Flooded areas are estimated by a linear …

This paper describes two applications of remote sensing flood inundation mapping in
support of hydrologic models: mapping monthly flood extent in the lower Mekong Basin …

The potential of using satellite based microwave observations of soil moisture to improve
flood predictability was explored during a specific major flood event. Predictability is a key …

Space-based river monitoring can provide a systematic, timely and impartial way to detect
floods of humanitarian concern. This paper presents a new processing method for such …

For about 40 years, with a proliferation over the last two decades, remote sensing data,
primarily in the form of satellite and airborne imagery and altimetry, have been used to study …

Remote sensing has been used widely for monitoring natural resources over large
territories. Recently, with advances in sensor technology and computation power …
