Water Inundation Dataset from Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR): Jim Foot Key, FL

Published by U.S. Geological Survey | Department of the Interior | Catalog Last Checked: August 01, 2026 at 03:32 AM | Dataset Last Updated: March 19, 2025 at 12:00 AM
This dataset is derived from Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) data collected between July 2022-December 2024 and focuses on water inundation patterns on Jim Foot Key, located within Florida Bay. The dataset includes 13 TIFF files at 0.5 meter-3 meter horizontal resolution, that have undergone preprocessing and water thresholding methods to identify areas of inundation. These analyses were coupled with field data, high-resolution optical imagery, as well as precipitation and tidal records, to validate the results and understand how seasonal factors and weather patterns influence the outputs. This dataset supports the development of a reliable workflow for remote monitoring of coastal inundation and can be adapted for similar coastal environments.
