Title
FloodScan: Near Real-Time and Historical Flood Mapping
Description
FloodScan uses satellite data to map and monitor floods daily, helping compare current flood conditions with historical averages. This dataset contains two resources: The first (hdx_floodscan_zonal_stats.xlsx) is a daily tabular dataset providing average FloodScan Standard Flood Extent Depiction (SFED) flood fraction (0-100%) per admin 1 and 2 level. Historical baseline values (SFED_BASELINE) are calculated per day-of-year from the last 10 years of historical data (non-inclusive of current year) after applying an 11 day smoothing mean window. Return Period (RP) is calculated empirically based on all historical data up to the current year (non-inclusive). The second resource (aer_floodscan_300s_SFED_90d.zip) is a zipped file containing AER FloodScan estimated daily flood fraction (0-100%) gridded data at approximately 10 km resolution (300 arcseconds equivalent to approximately 0.083 degrees) for the last 90 days. Each file represents the estimates for a single day and includes 2 bands: SFED and SFED_BASELINE. The baseline band provides users an easy way to compare current values with historical averages. The baseline is calculated per day-of-year from the last 10 years of historical data (non-inclusive of current year) after applying an 11 day temporal smoothing mean window.
