On the morning of 28 August 2020, the first “clear” nighttime scene of the region was able to provide an estimate of where power outages were still occurring. Sentinel-1A/B acquired by ESA/Copernicus, provided by Shawn Carter, NOAA/NWS/NWCĬontains modified Copernicus Sentinel data 2020 The NOAA National Water Center, using difference techniques from a scene before the hurricane hit (0012Z on 15 August 2020), was able to provide an estimate of the flood inundation. In addition, a timely Sentinel-1 pass at ~0010UTC on 27 August 2020, which was during the event, provided an even finer resolution image of the flooding along the coastline. Below shows the downscaled, 30-meter, flood map over the southern part of Louisiana as well as over the Cameron Parish region. Recent significant improvements to this algorithm have allowed Dr.Sanmei Li to generate a 30-meter (m) flood map from the VIIRS imagery over the Continental United States. The NOAA LEO/GEO flood product, developed by Sanmei Li (GMU), was able to easily pick out several areas along the coastline where the resulting moisture from the storm surge remained through the afternoon. #Laura /3TKfZznSq1Īt approximately 2:08pm CDT (1908UTC) on 27 August 2020, barely 12 hours after Laura made landfall, S-NPP passed over the Louisiana/Texas coastline for a near nadir (straight down) look over the region.
