Flood monitoring with Sentinel-1 radar data in northern Germany
In December and January we observed widespread and long-lasting flooding in Germany. With Sentinel-1 data you can map the spatial and temporal dimensions well. The full report you may find here.
Yield prediction for agricultural crops
For the field crops winter wheat , winter barley and winter rapeseed we made a yield prediction on a farm in Germany with quite a good result. The full report you may find here.
Blast of Kakhovka dam in Ukraine
In the Ukraine the Kakhovka dam was destroyed. The flooded area was monitored with Sentinel-1 SAR data. The article with few maps showing the situation before and after the event you find here.
Paddy rice cultivation in the northern Italian region of Piedmont
In northern Italy is the biggest rice cultivation area of Europe. The ESVI allows to monitor the irrigation regime and the growth of biomass in the rice paddies.

Yield prediction based on the vegetation index ESVI in Argentina
We use Sentinel-1 SAR data and generate a vegetation index out of it. This vegetation index ESVI can be transformed directly and precisely in yield for various field crops. We don’t need additional data like weather or soil data.

Yield prediction for arable crops based on ESVI
For a region in Germany / Thuringia we modelled the yield for arable crops like wheat, barley and rapeseed based on #Sentinel-1 #SAR data.

New showcase for California in iMap
A new showcase in iMap presenting our popular map products like #ESVI (enhanced SAR Vegetation Index), #SWI (SAR Water Index), #CC (pseudo-true Color Composite), #EVO (Evolution) a color composite over a period of 3 succeeding acquisitions based on ESVI and #GCB (Gradual Change of Biomass), which is a map product that shows the recent change based on ESVI.

Forest fires in the Gironde region in France
We used #Sentinel-1 #SAR data and here our vegetation index #ESVI to demonstrate that the detected footprint compares very well with optical infrared data from #FIRMS. Occasionally it may happen, that optical data is disturbed by dense smoke. Despite to that SAR can penetrate aerosols and clearly indicate the destroyed area.
