OPERA Dynamic Surface Water eXtent from Sentinel-1 (DSWx-S1) Water Gain Map for the Louisiana Floods June 2026

Date of Images Post-event: 2026-06-21, 2026-06-28 Summary: The Advanced Rapid Imaging and Analysis (ARIA) and Observational Products for End-Users from Remote Sensing Analysis (OPERA) teams at NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL) and the California Institute of Technology produced maps showing areas affected by flooding in Louisiana using the OPERA Dynamic Surface Water Extent from Sentinel-1 (DSWx-S1) product. These maps provide an initial view of the surface water extent observed following the flood event. The results presented here are preliminary and unvalidated, intended primarily to support situational awareness and field response efforts. The ARIA-Share platform emphasizes rapid dissemination of satellite-based products for disaster response. All information is provisional and should be used under emergency response guidelines. These data are provided without warranty of any kind. Use at your own risk. OPERA DSWx-S1 The OPERA DSWx-S1 was used to identify surface water for the flooding event. The images provided are a mosaic of OPERA DSWx-S1 products, producing a composite image for each date. The mosaicking applied prioritized pixels classified as open surface water to preserve water pixels in region of product granule overlap. The images are provided as GeoTIFF files. Water (WTR) Layer Description: Masked interpreted water classification layer. This represents pixel-wise classification into one of three water classes (not water, open water and inundated vegetation), masks (HAND mask and layover/shadow mask), or no data classes. Water (WTR) and Binary Water (BWTR) Layer Values: 0: Not Water - an area with valid data that is not open water (class 1), inundated vegetation (class 3), height above nearest drainage masked (class 250), or layover/shadow masked (class 251). Masking can result in "not water" (class 0) where land cover masking is applied (suggested color: #ffffff) 1: Open Water - an area that is entirely water and unobstructed to the sensor, including obstructions by vegetation, terrain, and buildings. (suggested color: #0000ff) 3: Inundated vegetation - an area that is considered inundated, extracted from the high value in dual polarization ratio and the wetland class in land cover map. (suggested color: #00ff00) 250: Height Above Nearest Drainage (HAND) masked - an area where topographic height is higher than the HAND threshold (suggested color: #c8c8c8) 251: Layover/shadow masked - an area identified as layover or shadow computed from the geometry of the digital elevation model and sensor. The area is directly copied from input burst RTC-S1 products (suggested color: #808080) 255: No data (suggested color: transparent) Satellite/Sensor: Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) instrument on European Space Agency's (ESA) Sentinel-1A satellite.

Date of Images: 20260706T0042, 20260718T0042 (UTC) (YYYYMMDD: HHMM) Date of Next Image: No additional images are being delivered Summary: The Advanced Rapid Imaging and Analysis (ARIA) and Observational Products for End-Users from Remote Sensing Analysis (OPERA) teams at the Jet Propulsion Laboratory, California Institute of Technology produced flood mapping products using the OPERA Dynamic Surface Water Extent from Sentinel-1 (DSWx-S1) dataset. These products provide a rapid assessment of surface water extent to support emergency response and situational awareness during flood events. The dataset provided includes two products: Surface Water Extent maps on individual dates Water Gain maps, showing areas where water increased between two dates Dates and Input Data: Pre-event image: July 06, 2026 Post-event image: July 18, 2026 Products were generated using OPERA DSWx-S1 satellite imagery and mosaicked across tiles to provide continuous spatial coverage. Product Description:Surface water is identified from Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) satellite imagery and mapped at 30 m spatial resolution. Maximum Surface Water Extent maps show all locations where water was detected at any time during the analysis period. Caveats and Limitations:Detecting inundation under vegetation, in the urban perimeter, in arid environments, and along water body edges is known to be challenging. The local accuracy of the flood maps in such environments may be impacted. Additionally, certain pixels within this product have been manually reclassified as water after expert interpretation and direct comparison with the input SAR backscatter. These results are intended to support rapid emergency response. All information is provisional for use under emergency response guidelines. These data are provided with absolutely no warranty of any kind. Use at your own risk.
