GLOBAL 500M SIN GRID V005 • Period : 2000 – 2011 • Indices : EVI, NDWI, LSWI, NDSI • Rule and Threshold based approach • DVEL (EVI-LSWI) was used to discriminate between Water–related pixels and Non–flood pixels. If the smoothed DVEL is less than 0.05 such pixels are determined to be a Water– related pixel; MODIS 8-day composites of surface reflectance product (MOD09A1) Initial Map of flood inundated areas Cloud mask NDSI NDVI EVI LSWI Snow mask Permanent Water mask Vegetation + Crop area DEM Global Wetland Database Validation and Accuracy assessment Spatio-temporal flood inundation (2000 – 2011)
