About this dataset

**UNOSAT code FL20230811NOR** ette kartet viser kumulativt satellittoppdaget overflatevann langs med Gudbrandsdalslågen i Ringebu, Sør-Fron og Nord-Fron kommune, Innlandet fylke, Norge, observert fra et Sentinel-1 bilde tatt den 10. august 2023 kl. 17:03 UTC. Innenfor det analyserte området på omtrent 500 km², er omtrent 15 km² med land observert som oversvømt. Basert på befolkningsdata fra Worldpop og det kartlagte overflatevannet er omtrent 800 personer potensielt eksponert eller bor i nærheten av det oversvømte områder. Dette er en foreløpig analyse og er ennå ikke validert på feltet. Vennligst send tilbakemelding fra bakken til FNs satellittsenter (UNOSAT).

Documentation

UNOSAT datasets and maps are produced using a variety of methods. In general, analysts closely review satellite imagery, often comparing two or more images together, and determine notable changes between the images. For damage assessments, refugee or IDP assessments, and similar analyses, these changes are then manually documented in the vector data by the analyst. For flood extractions, landcover mapping and similar analyses, a variety of automated remote sensing techniques are used to extract the relevant information which is then reviewed and revised as necessary by the analyst. In all cases, resulting data is then loaded into a standardized UNOSAT geodatabase and exported asshapefiles for dissemination. This is a preliminary assessment and has not yet been validated in the field. It is important to consider the characteristics of the source imagery used in the analyses when interpreting results. For damage assessments it should be noted that only significant damage to the structural integrity of the buildings analyzed can be seen in imagery, while minor damage such as cracks or holes may not be visible at all. For flood extractions using radar data it is important to note that urban areas and highly vegetated areas may mask the flood signature and result in underestimation of flood waters. Users with specific questions or concerns should contact unosat@unitar.org to seek clarification.

Satellite detected water extent in Gandaki, Lumbini, Bagmati and Madhesh Provinces as of 29 September 2024

**UNOSAT code: FL20240928NPL** This map illustrates the floods using Sentinel-1 images acquired on 29 September 2024 at 18:15 local time (12:30 UTC). Within the analysed area of about 20,000 km², a total of about 110 km² of land appears to be affected by flood waters. Based on Worldpop spatial demographic data, about 58,000 people are exposed or living close to flooded areas. This is a preliminary analysis and has not yet been validated in the field. Please send ground feedback to the United Nations Satellite Centre (UNOSAT). Important note: Flood analysis from radar images may underestimate the presence of standing waters in built-up areas and densely vegetated areas due to the backscattering properties of the radar signal.

**UNOSAT code: TC20201013VNM** This map illustrates satellite-detected surface waters in Ha Tinh and Nghe An Provinces of Viet Nam as observed from a Sentinel-1 image acquired on 18 October 2020. Within the analyzed area of about 9,000 km2, a total of about 500km2 of lands appear to be flooded. In Ha Tinh province, the water extent appears to have increased of about 300 km2 since 15 October 2020. Based on Worldpop population data and the detected surface waters, about 220,000 people are potentially exposed or living close to flooded areas. This is a preliminary analysis and has not yet been validated in the field. Please send ground feedback to UNITAR-UNOSAT.
