Germany — Elbe/Dresden/Dessau — Flood situation on 12 June 2013 — Area affected — Overview — P43

The situation on the Elbe is still tense. The map shows the extension of the water surface of the Elbe in the Dresden/Dessau area on June 12, 2013. The shown water mask was obtained from RADARSAT-2 data (50 meters resolution) on June 12, 2013 (recording time: 07:23 CET). The levels shown in the map were recorded at the time of recording of the RADARSAT-2 scene on 12 June (07:15 CET). RapidEye data (recording date 2009) with a spatial resolution of 5 meters serve as a background image. Please note that the flood situation in urban areas, under vegetation cover and in areas with high gradients may not be fully detected due to radar geometry.
