First paper published as part of NASA Terrestrial Hydrology Project
Figure 3 from the publication. “Surface water and flooding frequency using L8 (left), S2 (middle), and HLS data in 2019 in the MDB (top row) and four regions (rows 2–5) to illustrate the difference in L8, S2, and the HLS.”The paper, Can we detect more ephemeral floods with higher density harmonized Landsat Sentinel 2 data compared to Landsat 8 alone?, was accepted on January 28, 2022 in ISPRS Journal of Photogrammerty and Remote Sensing.
This is the first paper to come from our NASA grant in collaboration with colleagues at UNC Chapel Hill, as posted about here .
The focus of this project is determining whether we can detect more surface water and flooding events using NASA’s Harmonized Landsat Sentinel-2 Surface Reflectance Product than with just Landsat-8 or Sentinel-2 data. The answer appears to be a resounding yes!
