Syn-Event: 2024-09-26 23:38:04 (UTC) or 7:38 PM EDT

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 and California Institute of Technology derived the surface water extent maps using the OPERA Dynamic Surface Water eXtent from Sentinel-1 (DSWx-S1) products.
The results posted here are preliminary and unvalidated results, primarily intended to aid the field response and people who want to have a rough first look at the water extent. The ARIA-share website has always focused on posting preliminary results as fast as possible for disaster response.
OPERA DSWx-S1
The OPERA DSWx-S1 data identifies surface water and inundated vegetation. We provide the Water (WTR) and the Binary Water (BWTR) layers. Images are provided from 1) September 14, 2024 and 2) September 26, 2024. Each image consists of multiple MGRS tiles that were merged together for a composite image saved as a GeoTIFF file.
ARIA/OPERA water change map derived from OPERA DSWx-S1
The ARIA/OPERA water change map is derived from two OPERA DSWx-S1 Binary Water (BWTR) images taken on September 14, 2024 and September 26, 2024. The BTWR combines inundated vegetation and open water into a single water class.These maps depict areas of new water detection (or loss). The change map includes values of: (0) indicate no change between images, (1) absence of water pre-event, presence of water syn-event, and (-1) presence of water pre-event, absence of water syn-event.
Satellite/Sensor:
Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) instrument on European Space Agency's (ESA) Sentinel-1A satellite was used for both the September 14 and September 26 images.
Resolution:
30 meters
The DSWx-S1 products have these flags:
250 (light gray) and 251 (dark gray) represent HAND and layover/shadow masks, respectively.
HAND mask (light gray, value 250) delineates regions where the terrain's elevation exceeds a specified threshold relative to the height above the nearest drainage point, indicating areas less likely to be subject to direct inundation. Layover/shadow mask (dark gray, value 251) identifies zones that are either occluded by topographic features taller than the surrounding landscape (layover) or are not illuminated by the radar signal due to obstruction by these elevated features (shadow), leading to potential data voids in SAR imagery.

Suggested Use
DSWx-S1
The OPERA DSWx-S1 products classifies the OPERA Radiometric Terrain Corrected SAR backscatter from Sentinel-1 (RTC-S1) input imagery into: not water, water, and inundated vegetation with the masks such as layover/shadow mask and HAND mask. The WTR layer includes all classes. The BWTR layer merges water and inundated vegetation into a single water layer. Open water and inundated vegetation are represented in blue and green in WTR and blue in BWTR. Areas with masks are gray. The masks include the layover/shadow mask and HAND mask. Areas with no water detected are transparent.
DSWx-S1 change map
The ARIA/OPERA water extent change map classifies water extent into change/no change.Increased in water represented in blue, no change in water represented in transparent, decrease in water represented in red.
Credits:
Sentinel-1 data were accessed through the Copernicus Open Hub and the Alaska Satellite Facility server. The product contains modified Copernicus Sentinel data (2024), processed by the European Space Agency and analyzed by the NASA-JPL/Caltech ARIA and OPERA team.

20240926_DSWx-S1_WTR.tif: 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.
