Flood extent mapping with microwave satellite images
ESA C1P.7847: Application of microwave images for the area flooded in May and June 2010 in Poland
The aim of the project was to map the extents of the flooded areas in May and June 2010 in Poland. Within the framework microwave images registered from Japanese ALOS.PALSAR satellite as well as from European ENVISAT.ASAR and ERS-2.SAR satellites were used. In addition, optical satellite images ENVISAT.MERIS and ALOS.AVNIR-2/PRISM taken before and after the flood were used to determine the surface area flooded in specific land-use classes. Topographic maps and GIS data were also used for this purpose. The areas flooded as a result of the flood were also monitored after it receded. The project's subject matter fell within the interests of the Polish Government.
