Staff This site is a research tool for detection, mapping, measurement, and analysis of extreme flood events world-wide using satellite remote sensing. We use microwave and optical satellite imaging of selected river reaches to detect overbank flood and extreme low flow conditions. The Observatory also provides yearly catalogs, maps, and images of river floods, from 1985 to the present, and it is developing methods for obtaining globally-consistent measurements of these events. As the archive of reliable data grows, we are increasingly able to predict where and when major flooding will occur. DFO frequently produces the first geocoded image maps of large floods Satellite-based daily flood alert displays are under development. Among the resources used are the cloud-penetrating radar imagers aboard European Remote Sensing Satellites (ERS-1 and ERS-2), the Canadian-American Radarsat, the Quikscat scatterometer , AMSR-E aboard AQUA, Landsat-7, NOAA's AVHRR sensors, and MODIS and ASTER data from Terra.

flash floods and floods... the Awesome Power! A PREPAREDNESS GUIDE U.S. DEPARTMENT OF COMMERCE National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration National Weather Service July 1992 NOAA, FEMA, and The American Red Cross flash floods #1 weather-related killer in the United States! How do flash floods occur? Several factors contribute to flash flooding. The two key elements are rainfall intensity and duration. Intensity is the rate of rainfall, and duration is how long the rain lasts. Topography, soil conditions, and ground cover also play an important role. Flash floods occur within a few minutes or hours of excessive rainfall, a dam or levee failure, or a sudden release of water held by an ice jam. Flash floods can roll boulders, tear out trees, destroy buildings and bridges, and scour out new channels. Rapidly rising water can reach heights of 30 feet or more. Furthermore, flash flood-producing rains can also trigger catastrophic mud slides. You will not always have a warning that these deadly, sudden floods are coming. Most flood deaths are due to FLASH FLOODS Most flash flooding is caused by slow-moving thunderstorms, thunderstorms repeatedly moving over the same area, or heavy rains from hurricanes and tropical storms.

More than 8 inches of rain fell in a 10-hour period Thursday in Martin County, according to Keith Holman, director of the county's emergency management agency. When streets and homes began filling with water, he said, the county declared a state of emergency. "It wasn't so much a flash flood as it was a rise, a water rise," Holman said. "It did a lot of damage but [was] not necessarily life-threatening."

34. Drumlins And Subglacial Meltwater Floods Drumlins and subglacial meltwater floods. Existing drumlin fields reveal the extent of the areas affected by the proposed catastrophic floods. http://www.sentex.net/~tcc/sgfcrit.html

Drumlins and subglacial meltwater floods Since 1983, several investigators have developed a theory of drumlin formation by catastrophic flooding due to the release of meltwater that is believed to have accumulated beneath melting ice sheets. The proposed catastrophic sheet floods, as wide as the drumlin fields, formed the drumlins and related streamlined landforms, such as flutings, over wide areas. So-called rogen moraine, consisting of transverse ridges of drift, often found associated with drumlins, is reinterpreted in the meltwater flood hypothesis as possible giant current ripples. Existing drumlin fields reveal the extent of the areas affected by the proposed catastrophic floods. The Livingstone Lake drumlin field in Saskatchewan, where some very striking examples of streamlining occur, was the type region for the development of the new theory [Shaw et al., 1984] . The sheet flood flows proposed for this area by Shaw et al were about 150 km wide, and the total volume of the meltwater reservior was estimated as about 84,000 km The subglacial flood hypothesis for drumlin origin has been applied to drumlins in New York, southern Ontario, the northeast shore of Georgian Bay in Ontario, and to the interpretation of hummocky terrain in southern Alberta, and other areas, by various workers. Shaw suggested as many as 10 meltwater discharges, similar to those which caused the Livingstone Lake drumlins, would be needed to account for drumlin fields in other areas

They say the lakes are filling up because rising temperatures are melting the surrounding glaciers and snowfields that feed them. Regional air temperatures are 1C higher than they were in the 1970s. Work has started to lower the water level in one lake in Nepal. The scientists work for the United Nations Environment Programme (Unep) and the International Centre for Integrated Mountain Development (Icimod). Surendra Shrestha of Unep said: "Our findings indicate that 20 glacial lakes in Nepal and 24 in Bhutan have become potentially dangerous as a result of climate change. "We have evidence that any one of these could, unless urgent action is taken, burst its banks in five to ten years' time.
