Dates of Images: 5/5/2024, 5/6/2025, 5/15/2025 Background: MODIS Global Flood Product, MCDWD, showing flooding observed on 5/5, 5/6, and 5/15/2024 in Rio Grande do Sol, Brazil. Product is based on optical imagery from the MODIS sensor, on both Terra and Aqua spacecraft. Observation times are approximately 10:30 am and 1:30 pm local time; flood extents at other times may not be observed.  The 1-day composite product is delivered here; this uses observations from only the given date. For this event, 5/5/2024 was the first clear day after the weather system passed. By 5/15, substantial flood water was still visible.  Caveats: Flooding is determined by comparing observed water extent to a reference water map, which may be inaccurate in fine details; some "flood" may be expected surface water, and some "surface water" may actually be flood, but both indicate areas where water was detected. The 1-day product can be particularly susceptible to false-positives from cloud shadows, which often can look like water in the source data. This product looks reasonable with few such false-positives, but users are advised to review the optical imagery (Terra and Aqua) in Worldview to confirm (https://go.nasa.gov/globalflood). Worldview also hosts the 2- and 3-day composite products, but not the 1-day delivered here. At 250 m resolution, this product will also not reliably capture flood extents smaller than 250 m.  As this is optical imagery, flooding under clouds will not be detected. Suggested Use: Red in the displayed image indicates flood; blue indicates expected surface water.

Dates of Images: 5/3/2022, 5/10/2022 Summary: MODIS Global Flood Product, MCDWD, showing flooding observed on 5/3 and 5/10/2022 along the Red river in North Dakota and Manitoba. Product is based on optical imagery from the MODIS sensor, on both Terra and Aqua spacecraft. Observation times are approximately 10:30 am and 1:30 pm local time; flood extents at other times may not be observed. The 2-day composite product is delivered here; this uses observations from the given date and one day previous (eg 5/2 and 5/3 for the 5/3 product). For this event, 5/3 product was the first available after the clouds cleared, and the 2-day product shows reasonable flood coverage. The 1-day product shows more coverage, but also more false-positives; it may be of interest to some users. One week later, much of the flooding persisted (5/10). Caveats: Flooding is determined by comparing observed water extent to a reference water map, which may be inaccurate in fine details; some "flood" may be expected surface water, and some "surface water" may actually be flood, but both indicate areas where water was detected. The 2-day product has many fewer cloud-shadow false-positives than 1-day products, but these may still occur. Users are advised to review the source optical imagery (Terra and Aqua) in Worldview to confirm (https://go.nasa.gov/globalflood). Worldview also hosts the 2- and 3-day composite products, and allows rapid examination of all daily products. At 250 m resolution, this product will not reliably capture flood extents smaller than 250 m. As this is optical imagery, flooding under clouds will not be detected.

Date of Images: 5/24/2022 Date of Next Image: Unknown Summary: Scientists at NASA's Marshall Space Flight Center created these water extents using Landsat imagery. These images can be used to see where open water is visible at the time of the satellite overpass. This product shows all water detected and differentiates between normal water areas and some flooded areas. This product was classified using the ESA Worldview. It's important to note that all flooded areas may not be captured do to the sensors limitations of not being able to "see" through vegetation and buildings. To determine where additional flooding may have occurred, combine this layer with other data sets. Suggested Use: This product shows water that is detected by the sensor with different colors indicating different land cover/land use classifications from CDL that appear to have water and are potentially flooded.

Overview: OPERA Level-3 Dynamic Surface Water Extent (DSWx) product from Harmonized Landsat-8/9 and Sentinel-2A/B/C (HLS), processed and developed by OPERA (JPL/USGS). Values for B01 WTR are a masked interpreted water classification layer. This represents pixel-wise classification into one of three water classes (not water, open water, and partial surface water), HLS snow/ice, HLS cloud/cloud shadow and adjacent to cloud/cloud shadow, or no data classes.   This dataset contains Level-3 Dynamic OPERA surface water extent product version 1. The data are validated surface water extent observations beginning April 2023. Known issues and caveats on usage are described in the Product Documentation. The input dataset for generating each product is the Harmonized Landsat-8 and Sentinel-2A/B/C (HLS) product version 2.0. HLS products provide surface reflectance (SR) data from the Operational Land Imager (OLI) aboard the Landsat 8 satellite and the MultiSpectral Instrument (MSI) aboard the Sentinel-2A/B/C satellite. This EGIS service offers access to the water classification data layer.   More information about the dataset is available at https://www.earthdata.nasa.gov/data/catalog/pocloud-opera-l3-dswx-hls-v1-1.0 OPERA was informed by the Satellite Needs Working Group (SNWG), an interagency effort of the U.S. Government dedicated to identifying and addressing Earth observation needs across U.S. civilian federal agencies. Specifications: Temporal coverage: January 1, 2023 – Present Version: 1.0 Spatial Resolution: 3,660 rows and 3,660 columns at 30-m pixel spacing Processing Level: 3 Spatial coverage/reference: Near Global (N: 84 S: -84 E: 180 W: -180) coverage distributed over a projected map coordinate using the Universal Transverse Mercator (UTM) projection (109.8 km × 109.8 km) (EPSG:3857). Sensor: The input dataset for generating each product is the Harmonized Landsat-8 and Sentinel-2A/B/C (HLS) product version 2.0. HLS products provide surface reflectance (SR) data from the Operational Land Imager (OLI) aboard the Landsat 8 satellite and the MultiSpectral Instrument (MSI) aboard the Sentinel-2A/B/C satellite.

Colormap: Values for the B01 WTR layer are a masked interpreted water classification layer. This represents pixel-wise classification into one of three water classes (not water, open water, and partial surface water), HLS snow/ice, HLS cloud/cloud shadow and adjacent to cloud/cloud shadow, or no data classes.  Intended Use: This service provides the ability to perform temporal trend analysis, zonal statistics, and to track dynamic water volume/extent changes over time.    Limitations of Use: If opening with the MapViewer in the browser, due to the size of the underlying data, it can take a few minutes for the data to render on the map. Tips: zoom into your area of interest on the map; and/or change time slider settings - see the PODAAC Cookbook tutorial.  Known issues and caveats on usage are described in the Product Documentation.
