OPERA Dynamic Surface Water Extent from Sentinel-1 (Version 1)

Listed in NASA Earthdata CMR and NASA Data Portal — shown once because both records carry DOI 10.5067/opdsws1-l3v1

This dataset contains Level-3 Dynamic OPERA Surface Water Extent from Sentinel-1 (DSWx-S1) product version 1.

Description

DSWx-S1 provides near-global geographical mapping of surface water extent over land at a spatial resolution of 30 meters over the Military Grid reference System (MGRS) grid system, with a temporal revisit frequency between 6-12 days. Using Sentinel-1 radar observations, DSWx-S1 maps open inland water bodies greater than 3 hectares and 200 meters in width, irrespective of cloud conditions and daylight illumination that often pose challenges to optical sensors.

Forward production of the DSWx-S1 data record began in Sept 2024. Each product is distributed as a set of 3 GeoTIFF (Geographic Tagged Image File Format) files including water classification and associated confidence layers. The OPERA DSWx-S1 product contains modified Copernicus Sentinel data (2024-2025).
