I'm in Alabama @bluesky. Why am I getting the Mississippi treatment?

This is probably the most stark image from the Airborne River Survey of the Green River of #kentucky. You think you have a mental picture of what floods look like, then you get this image. The mostly flooded town of Calhoun, KY is featured center of image.

Significant, generational and historic #flooding across the Ohio River Valley following multiple days of heavy rainfall and severe storms. You can see the extent of the flooding in the Sentinel-1 #sar derived flood mapping I made in support of operations here […]

Brought out a vintage Marathon Government Issued #watch today. It's a mechanical wind, has a very satisfying ting ting ting sound, and a super smooth second hand sweep. Super tiny though..

Interesting look at the Mississippi River in #sentinel1 #sar adjacent to Herculaneum, MO. In this multi-temporal false-color composite, the yellow line is the rough and exposed ice edges left in the wake of a ship breaking through the much smoother sheet ice […]

The ECMWF Shift of Tails Extreme Forecast Index is a very esoteric statistical anlaysis. For the layperson, a shift of tails of 2 usually means we are dealing with an extreme event. Shift of Tails of 8...it's kinda out there.

Neat #sentinel2 presentation of a narrow band of snowfall accumulation in #nebraska. DOI: 2024-12-10. False-color composite (B12 - B8 - B4)

With #Sentinel-1C safely ensconced in her orbit, here's a look at the #riverice on the Tanana River of #alaska from her sister-ship Sentinel-1A last night. Cheers and congratulations #esa for the successful return to flight of #VegaC .

Working on a #flood occurrence proxy project using #sentinel2 imagery. Classify water pixels for every frame in the Sentinel-2 collection then sum the occurrences. Even with cloudiness restricted to cloud free images, still getting more than 100 observations from 2019 to present.

@ingalls ECMWF forced GloFAS water model is signaling 5 to 20 year recurrence intervals on coastal rivers in response. I'm going to wait a day or so before I get too excited, still a lot of uncertainty on placement and snow levels I think.

@ingalls It's not much, but it's not nothing. How we're modeling it SNODAS right now.
