✦ Synopsis

The objective of this study is to establish a procedure for estimating the effects of river floods in large areas utilizing remote sensing satellite data. Floods usually occur unexpectedly and generally last a short time. Satellite image data can show floods instantaneously over tens of thousands of square kilometres. Radar satellite data can be recorded at scales of 1 : 25 000, 1 : 50 000 and smaller, under any atmospheric situation. They thus can be obtained when needed during various floods stages, the only limiting factor being the satellite orbit position. There are several satellites equipped with radar sensors, such as ERS (Europe)
