| Abstract | This paper describes practical experience and operational insights gained during recent flood monitoring activities in Northern and Central California. This work demonstrates feasibility of monitoring
flood extent at intervals averaging less than 2 days, extraction of GIS-ready vectors, and the first known detection of a levee break using RADARSAT. |
