Abstract

A new method for flood hazard mapping that integrates global flood inundation modeling and microwave remote sensing is presented. It combines the time and space continuity of a global inundation model with the limited revisit time but high spatial resolution of satellite observations. The availability of model simulations over a long time period allows a robust estimate of non-exceedance probabilities that can be attributed to the corresponding satellite observations. The resulting flood hazard map will have a spatial resolution equal to that of the used satellite images, generally higher than that of the global inundation model. This can theoretically be done for any point in the world, allowing the estimation of flood hazard at a global scale, provided that a sufficient number of remote sensing images are available. The method is tested on the Severn River (UK), with a high number of flood events observed by ENVISAT ASAR. The global ECMWF flood inundation model is considered for this study.
