Dartmouth Flood Observatory flood map for Cyclone Idai using MODIS: Produced 3/10/2019.

Date of Images: 3/10/2019 Date of Next Image: Unknown Purpose/Summary: Water extent map produced using the Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectrometer (MODIS). Flood image is produced by comparing images before (2/2/2018) and after (3/10/2019) the event to determine where flooding has occurred.Suggested Usage:Red pixels are classified as water. These are flooded areas that are normally dry land. This product is best used with a layer or background map with known water that is prevalent throughout the year to determine where the flooding is occurring. Satellite/Resolution: Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectrometer (MODIS); 250m resolution Credits: Brakenridge, G.R. and Kettner, A.J., March 18, 2019, "DFO Flood Event 4725", Dartmouth Flood Observatory, University of Colorado, Boulder, Colorado, USA, http://floodobservatory.colorado.edu/Events/4725/2019Malawi4725.html.
