  By Bikramjit Goswami, Anindita Gogoi, Iyir Nyodu, Lisa Baruah, Pooja Pranami Saikia, Manoranjan Kalita

  Abstract: Space based flood monitoring can provide a systematic and timely solution to the problem of flood mapping. This paper presents a way to detect as well as monitor flood by using passive microwave remote sensing (MRS). The method is based on the use of brightness temperature taken from Passive MRS Satellite. A case study from October 2012 to September 2013 on Dhemaji district of Assam, India shows that the brightness …

  Passive Microwave Remote Sensing of Flood: A Comparison of Various Methods

  By Rimmi Konwar, Himadri Sikha Nath, Pallabi Das, Bikramjit Goswami, Manoranjan Kalita

  Abstract: Microwave Remote Sensing is used to detect different land cover types such as, bare soil, water bodies, vegetation cover, forest cover etc., and using different procedures. In this paper, we have targeted on a methodology to detect difference between land and water by using brightness temperature at different frequencies during the flooding period. Disastrous flood occurred in Kashmir (India) during 2014, and passive microwave remote sensing data are utilized for …
