Flood analysis using satellite data

A recent paper available from here gives an overview of the use of the Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) sensors for flood mapping and first experiences using the very high resolution satellite system of SAR Cosmo SkyMed as well as key
processing elements and some of the important analysis techniques

used for the extraction of flood information. Furthermore, a
web based software platform for flood analysis and integration between
ground stations and satellite-based information is presented drawing some conclusions on the future prospects of
high-resolution SAR missions for flood mapping and monitoring.
