Application of Sentinel-1 SAR Imagery for Flood Detection and Monitoring, Case Study of Floods in Vrgorac Region during November and December 2020

The paper presents digital image processing methods that, applied sequentially, enable detection and monitoring of flooded areas using satellite images obtained by Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) from Sentinel-1 satellite in the case study of floods in the Vrgorac region, during November and December 2020. The method is based on the scattering of a polarized radar wave on water surfaces. The paper comments on the advantages and disadvantages of using open resources and proposes the urgent accession of the Republic of Croatia to the Charter on Space.
