FINE RESOLUTION SATELLITE MEASUREMENTS OF FLOODED AREAS IN SLOVENIA IN 2014
Abstract
Satellite technology has progressed significantly in recent years. Satellite data is increasingly included in the process of monitoring the atmosphere, land surface, the oceans, air pollution and climate change (Iršič Žibert and Muri 2014). In the event of flooding, Slovenia has the possibility to order satellite images of flooded areas using a special protocol. This is possible due to the European Commission Copernicus programme in the framework of Emergency Management Service (GIO EMS). In 2014, the flooding incidents were exceptionally frequent, this is why Slovenia ordered satellite images of flooded areas in February, September and November. Satellite measurements were performed in radar spectrum with a 3 m ground resolution and in visual spectrum with a 1.5 m ground resolution. Such data is extremely important for the monitoring of flooded areas during different precipitation events.
