Applications
The service has been developed for Flood Management practitioners to get the best operational performance out of satellite SAR. Particularly useful for challenging urban areas.
Flood extent is updated every 12 hours. Superior Accuracy of flood edge is achieved though novel use of 3m resolution double-bounce Coherence Analysis and advanced hydrological modelling using slope and vegetation to provide optional depth and water velocity metrics.
UK expertise and service
Telespazio UK is a leader in developing and delivering geospatial business services based on satellite data. Its Flood Warning & Mitigation service uses high revisit day/night satellite imagery combined with advanced hydrological flood flow modelling from Ambiental. This can produce much more accurate and rapid delineated flood extents over complex urban regions and extensive rural expanses.
