Summary:<\/span><\/p>

The Advanced Rapid Imaging and Analysis (ARIA) and Observational Products for End-Users from Remote Sensing Analysis (OPERA) teams at NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory and California Institute of Technology created maps of surface water extent impacted by the flooding caused by Atmospheric Rivers in the Pacific Northwest starting on December 8, 2025 using the OPERA Dynamic Surface Water Extent from Sentinel-1 (DSWx-S1). <\/span><\/p>

The results posted here are preliminary and unvalidated results, primarily intended to aid the field response and provide a rough first look at the inundation extent. The ARIA-share website has always focused on posting preliminary results as fast as possible for disaster response. All information is provisional for use under emergency response guidelines. These data are provided with absolutely no warranty of any kind. Use at your own risk.<\/span><\/p>

OPERA DSWx-S1<\/span><\/p>

The OPERA DSWx-S1 was used to identify surface water for the flooding event. The images provided are a mosaic of OPERA DSWx-S1 products, producing a composite image for each date. The mosaicking applied prioritized pixels classified as open surface water and inundated vegetation to preserve water pixels in regions of product granule overlap. The images are provided as GeoTIFF files. <\/span><\/p>

Water (WTR) Layer Description: Masked interpreted water classification layer. This represents pixel-wise classification into one of three water classes (not water, open water and inundated vegetation), masks (HAND mask and layover/shadow mask), or no data classes.<\/span><\/p>
