Ongoing floods detected from AMSR-E Swaths The Global Flood Detection System (GFDS) uses AMSR-E satellite images to observe flood events around the globe at given locations along the river channel. These sites are represented on maps and sorted by country, river name, lat/long coordinates. The measured MC ratio from the satellite image is a relative value that corresponds to the extent of the water surface (river gauging) at a given location along the river channel. The higher the value is the higher flow the river has. Comparing this number with the normal flow condition and the threshold for flood events gives draft estimation for the magnitude of the flood event.

Please refer to the competent local hydrographic authorities for official information on the flood status in each country. http://www.gdacs.org/flooddetection/currentfloods.aspx Site 15049 in Kenya Tana (Garsen) http://www.gdacs.org/flooddetection/area.aspx?id=15049 Kenya http://www.gdacs.org/images/green-bullet.gif -0.175012270829702 -2.295 40.185 40.185 -2.295 89032310 15049 Kenya 0 Tana (Garsen) A {"Points":[{"X":2446,"Y":1023,"CoordinatesType":1,"Valid":true},{"X":2446,"Y":1024,"CoordinatesType":1,"Valid":true},{"X":2445,"Y":1025,"CoordinatesType":1,"Valid":true},{"X":2446,"Y":1025,"CoordinatesType":1,"Valid":true},{"X":2446,"Y":1026,"CoordinatesType":1,"Valid":true}],"WorldWidth":4000,"WorldHeight":2000} 5 40.05 40.32 -2.52 -2.07 8250 Tana Garsen 0 0 0 4DAYS 6/29/2016 12:00:00 AM 20160629 0.9880044 0.00321825571389222 0.983338 -0.175012270829702 0.477833979371304 0.607596829669497 0 0 Site 15049 in Kenya Tana (Garsen) http://www.gdacs.org/flooddetection/area.aspx?id=15049 Kenya http://www.gdacs.org/images/green-bullet.gif -0.216924069337813 -2.295 40.185 40.185 -2.295 89047408 15049 Kenya 0 Tana (Garsen) A {"Points":[{"X":2446,"Y":1023,"CoordinatesType":1,"Valid":true},{"X":2446,"Y":1024,"CoordinatesType":1,"Valid":true},{"X":2445,"Y":1025,"CoordinatesType":1,"Valid":true},{"X":2446,"Y":1025,"CoordinatesType":1,"Valid":true},{"X":2446,"Y":1026,"CoordinatesType":1,"Valid":true}],"WorldWidth":4000,"WorldHeight":2000} 5 40.05 40.32 -2.52 -2.07 8250 Tana Garsen 0 0 0 4DAYS 6/30/2016 12:00:00 AM 20160630 0.9882952 0.0039497580381588 0.98296 -0.216924069337813 0.559137865679107 0.664124420517426 0 0
