title = "Global scale simulation of flood plain inundation with low resolution space-borne data",
abstract = "With flood risk increasing worldwide, inexpensive and globally-applicable flood management support is becoming very important. This short paper illustrates how low cost and globally available space-borne radar data might offer such support on large scales. From a test case of the summer 2007 floods in England, validation with aerial photography suggests that uncertainties in water levels from wide swath radar imagery, as well as the structure from a hydrodynamic model based on satellite data, can be estimated adequately enough for operating within an assimilation framework.",
