Flooded areas have been sorted into 2 classes: Red areas represent standing flood waters identified with a high degree of confidence. Yellow areas represent flood-affected areas, possibly covered with standing water, identified with a lower degree of confidence.
Flood analysis was made using MODIS Terra & Aqua data recorded 2 February 2008. Additional pre-flood MODIS imagery from November 2007 (represented in blue) was used in this analysis.
The rainfall estimate was derived from the Tropical Rainfall Monitoring Mission (TRMM) precipitation dataset at a spatial resolution of approximately 25km for this region.
