Satellite-derived flood depth maps for Europe

The dataset contains a catalogue of satellite-derived flood depth maps across Europe over the period 2015-2024 at 20m spatial resolution. The results rely on the systematic identification of flooded areas using the entire Sentinel-1 archive as provided by the Global Flood Monitoring system of the Copernicus Emergency Management Service. Flood delineations are consolidated and clustered to identify single flood events. Ground topography is used to enhance flood delineations and reduce under detection, as well as to identify and remove false positives. Further details on how this dataset was generated as well as the limitations and known issues can be found in the relevant publication. Detailed technical information about the dataset can be found in the README file.
