Surface water and flooding dynamics based on seasonally continuous Landsat data (1986-2011) in a dryland river basin (monthly, seasonally, and yearly animations)

Abstract

The animations provided here are part of the publication,[Tulbure, M.G. and M. Broich (2018)]. The method is described in [Tulbure et al. (2016)]. The animations are based on statistically validated surface water and flooding extent dynamics data derived from seasonally continous Landsat TM/ETM+ and random forest models from 1986 to 2011 over Australia’s Murray-Darling Basin. The overall accuracy was over 99% and producer’s accuracy for water 87% +/- 3%.
