Monitoring flooded area fraction in floodplains of PARANÁ basin using passive and active microwave systems

Over the past two decades, orbital passive microwave systems have proven to be sensitive to flood condition in large floodplains. This sensitivity is rooted in the well differentiated emission properties of calm water with respect to non-flooded land of any kind. In this paper, AMSR-E observations o...
