Flood Modeling and Prediction Using Earth Observation Data

Abstract The ability to map floods from satellites has been known for over 40 years. Early images of were rather difficult obtain, and flood mapping was thus opportunistic limited only a few case studies. However, the last decade, with proliferation open-access EO data, there much progress in development Earth Observation products services tailored various end-user needs, as well its integration modeling prediction efforts. This article provides an overview use satellite remote sensing outlines recent advances application mapping, monitoring models. Strengths limitations are discussed throughput, concludes by looking at new developments.
