Open Data Cube - Water Mapping

Description

Water Mapping using WOfS

WOfS is an automated water mapping algorithm created by Geoscience Australia. Surface water is detected in satellite images and for each location, the number of occurrences is summed through time. The result is a percentage value of the number of times water was observed at the location.

The coloring of the summary layer indicates how often water was observed. Possible floods appear in the low values (red to yellow colours), while consistent water bodies such as lakes and dams have high values (blue to purple colours).

For more information, please, check the DEA Water Observations website.
