The RapidEye constellation of five earth observation satellites have been focused on the East Coast of Australia, dedicating resources to capture valuable images of the ever-changing face of our flooding landscape. The readily enhanced RapidEye satellite data has been of interest to a range of Government agencies in recent weeks. Currently, the movement of the Loddon flood waters in Victoria is one target of interest.
With five spectral bands of information (blue, green, red and 2 infrared areas) and five satellites dedicated to data capture, vast areas as shown in the image permit extraction of some informative flood information. The RapidEye image library has built up a considerable amount of imagery this last month over Australia.
