Description

Floods is the greatest natural disasters that affect human society than any other type of natural disaster. With the availability of satellite rainfall analyses at fine time and space resolution, it has also become possible to mitigate such hazards on a near-global basis. In this research, we construct a real-time flood monitoring system using White Object Index (WOI) composite. The efficiency of the WOI was tested by comparing the MVC and MOD35.
