| An analysis of an inland flooding case over the Dominican Republic from Hurricane Georges (1998) is conducted utilizing radar, satellite, and radiometer data. The study is done to demonstrate the utility of the Advanced Microwave Precipitation Radiometer (AMPR) to detect and monitor surface water during a flooding event concurrent with the Third Convection and Moisture Experiment (CAMEX-3). Accumulated rainfall is measured using both ground based and airborne radar. The surface water signature from AMPR is discussed in detail with a comparison to topographic data and vegetation indices. AMPR's ability of early detection of expanding surface water and its potential to be a useful part of' a multisensor flood monitoring and analysis network is shown. |
