Data Visualization

Mar 2019

The midwestern United States was greatly impacted by flooding during Spring 2019. This visualization shows how flooding can be detected using moderate resolution Copernicus Sentinel-2 imagery, comparing a True Color composite from Sentinel-2 imagery on the left with a Modified Normalized Difference Water Index (mNDWI) product derived from Sentinel-2 imagery on the right. In the mNDWI product, likely water appears as blue.
