Data obtained by the RADAR sensor onboard Copernicus Sentinel-1 satellites allow us to monitor flooded zones when data acquired by optical satellites are not available due to cloud coverage.

Summary

[edit]
Description
English: The 2020 Atlantic hurricane season shows no signs of ending. Hurricane Eta, the 29th hurricane of the season and one of the fiercest storms to hit Central America in years, hit Nicaragua as a Category 4 on 3 November 2020 with winds of 240 km/h before weakening into a tropical depression and moving inland. As a consequence of the torrential rains, landslides and severe flooding generated by Eta, at least 150 deaths were recorded in Nicaragua, Honduras and Guatemala and the Guatemalan Government declared a State of Emergency in 9 departments. This image, acquired by Copernicus Sentinel1 on 6 November 2020, shows the flooded areas in Alta Verapaz and El Quiché departments in Guatemala, two of the most affected areas. Data obtained by the RADAR sensor onboard Copernicus Sentinel-1 satellites allow us to monitor flooded zones when data acquired by optical satellites are not available due to cloud coverage.
