What is Remote Sensing for Flood Management about?

This document discusses the role of orbital remote sensing in flood warnings, disaster assessments, and hazard reduction. It describes how scatterometer data from QuikSCAT can be used to detect changes in surface water area globally every 2+ days through measurements of radar backscatter polarization. Higher resolution data from sensors like MODIS and RADARSAT are also used for detailed flood mapping. The document presents an algorithm that analyzes QuikSCAT polarization ratio data to identify flooded areas
