Satellite detected water extent over Jawa Tengah Province, Indonesia as of 27 March 2024
Description
**UNOSAT code: EQ20240326IDN, GDACS ID: 1420595** This map illustrates satellite-detected surface waters in Jawa Tengah Province, Indonesia, as observed from a Sentinel-1 image acquired on 27 March 2024 at 22:17 UTC. and a Fucheng-1 image acquired on 27 March 2024 at 14:51 UTC. Within the analysed area of about 4,400 km², a total of about 260 km² of land appears to be flooded, receding of about 60 km² compared to 19 March 2024. This is a preliminary analysis and has not yet been validated in the field. Please send ground feedback to the United Nations Satellite Centre (UNOSAT). Important note: Flood analysis from radar images may underestimate the presence of standing waters in built-up areas and densely vegetated areas due to backscattering properties of the radar signal.
