NOAA GOES-R Series Advanced Baseline Imager (ABI) Level 3 Daily River and Surface Flood Map Products (RSVFM)

Published by NOAA National Centers for Environmental Information | National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, Department of Commerce | Catalog Last Checked: August 03, 2026 at 06:53 AM | Dataset Last Updated: November 16, 2023 at 12:00 AM
The purpose of this collection is to provide researchers and near real-time users, a daily view of river and standing water flooding over the Americas. On the GOES-R series satellites flood detection is based on 10-minute full disk scans first, and then a composition process is done on all the previous 10-minute flood maps to update the results each hour. The product within this collection is a cloud free composite based on 24 hourly map composites. The data are gridded on an equal latitude-longitude area grid. Variables within this dataset include Water Detection, Quality Flags, and Quality Information.
