Global Flood Detection System
Current surface water and potential flooded areas (GFDS) map

The Global Flood Detection System uses passive microwave remote
sensing to observe surface water for large floods. Statistical
anomalies in surface water are shown as red areas, which correspond
roughly to the flooded area. Extreme rainfall also causes anomalies,
but is masked by the yellow layer (TRMM rainfall).

Accumulated rain 24hrs (TRMM) map

Flash floods and landslides cannot be recorded by microwave remote
sensing. These events are caused by extreme rainfall in susceptible
mountainous areas. The map below shows the extreme rainfall recorded
by the Tropical Rainfall Monitoring mission in the last 24h (mm/24h).
