Comparison of flooded area estimated using Sentinel-1 from this study and existing global flood datasets (MODIS NRT Global Flood Dataset, MODIS Global Flood Database, JRC Global Surface Water dataset). (a) Maximum flood area for wet seasons from 2016–2020. (b) Yearly maximum flood area comparison between MODIS NRT datasets, Sentinel-1 and composite flood dataset from 2016–2020. (c) Flood area dynamics based on the JRC Global Surface Water dataset from 2000–2020 and MODIS Global Flood Database. (d) Correlation between flood area based on JRC datasets and yearly precipitation.
