Change maps are made for images taken on October 3, 2024 and October 11, 2024 and for October 8, 2024, and October 11, 2024. The BWTR 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 during-event, and (-1) presence of water pre-event, absence of water during-event. <\/SPAN><\/P><P><SPAN STYLE=\"font-style:italic;\">OPERA DSWx-HLS<\/SPAN><\/P><P><SPAN>The OPERA DSWx-HLS was used to identify surface water using the WTR layer. 378 images were examined from 2024-09-27 to 2024-10-07, prioritizing pixels classified as open surface water. Pixels flagged as snow/ice in the HLS Fmask were reclassified to water.
