This map illustrates satellite-detected
water over the flood-affected provinces of Hanoi, Red River Delta Region,
Vietnam. Probable flood waters were detected with DMC multispectral data
acquired on 9 November 2008 at a spatial resolution of 32m. Pre-flood DMC
multispectral data from 24 November 2005 was also used in this analysis.
This flood assessment is a preliminary analysis & has not yet been
validated in the field.
