- Remote sensing using synthetic aperture radar (SAR) is an important tool for emergency flood incident management. At present, operational services are mainly aimed at flood mapping in rural areas, as mapping in urban areas is hampered by the complicated backscattering mechanisms occurring there. A method for detecting flooding at high resolution in urban areas that may contain dense housing is presented. This largely uses remotely sensed data sets that are readily available on a global basis, including open-access Sentinel-1 SAR data, the WorldDEM digital surface model (DSM), and open-accessWorld Settlement Footprint data to identify urban areas. The method is a change detection technique that locally estimates flood levels in urban areas. It searches for increased SAR backscatter in the post-flood image due to double scattering between water (rather than unflooded ground) and adjacent buildings, and reduced SAR backscatter in areas away from high slopes. Areas of urban flooding are detected by comparing an interpolated flood level surface to the DSM. The method was tested on two flood events that occurred in the UK during the storms of Winter 2019-2020. High urban flood detection accuracies were achieved for the event in moderate density housing. The accuracy was reduced for the event in dense housing, when street widths became comparable to the DSM resolution, though it would still be useful for incident management. The method has potential for operational use for detecting urban flooding in near real-time on a global basis. (C) The Authors.
