Flood Waters Over Wasit Governorate, Republic of Iraq

Map
UNOSAT

This map illustrates satellite-detected areas of flood waters in the Wasit Governorate in eastern Iraq as detected by Resourcesat-2 imagery collected on 7 May 2013. At least 70 towns and villages in the analyzed area are potentially inundated. Multiple sections of roadways are likewise potentially affected. It is likely that flood waters have been systematically underestimated in highly vegetated areas, along main river banks, within built-up urban areas, and in sparse areas of cloud shadow. This analysis has not yet been validated in the field.

Areas of Standing Water, Mahe Island, Seychelles (as of 7 Mar 2013)

Map
UNOSAT

This map illustrates satellite-detected areas of standing water observed on Mahe Island, Seychelles, in 12 separate GeoEye-1 images collected on 5 February, 13 February, and 16 February 2013. Though these images were very cloudy UNITAR/UNOSAT reviewed them all for indications of standing water and also produced a cumulative cloud mask to indicate which portions of the island were completely cloud obscured. A total of 28 separate standing water bodies were identified, totalling 41,025 square meters and averaging 1,465 square meters in size.

Update 1: Flood Waters Over Chokwe, Guika, Bilene, and Xai-Xai Districts, Gaza Province, Mozambique (as of 4 Feb 2013)

Map
UNOSAT

This map illustrates satellite-detected flood waters along the Limpopo River in the Guija and Chokwe districts of Gaza Province, Mozambique, as detected by Radarsat-2 imagery acquired 2 February 2013 and compared to SPOT-5 imagery acquired 24 January 2013. This analysis indicates floodwaters have receded considerably as of 2 February 2013. While several villages are still partially inundated by flood waters these have decreased considerably in recent days. Sections of road remain potentially affected or flooded, though are likely to become accessible as the water levels continue to recede.

Estimated Rainfall Accumulation from 23rd to 30th January 2013, Mozambique

This map presents the estimated total rainfall accumulation for Mozambique covering the period 23-30 January 2013. This total estimate was derived from the Tropical Rainfall Monitoring Mission (TRMM) precipitation dataset at a spatial resolution of approximately 25km for this region. It is possible that precipitation levels may have been underestimated for local areas, and is not a substitute for ground station measurements.

Philippines: Satellite Assessment of cyclone affected areas, Misamis Occidental (as of 12 Dec 2012)

This map illustrates satellite detected areas of potentially affected/flooded areas, infrastructure and settlements in Misamis Occidental Philippines. It is likely that the analysis of potentially affected/flooded areas have been systematically underestimated along highly vegetated areas along main river banks, and within built-up urban areas because of the special characteristics of the satellite data used. This analysis has not yet been validated in the field
