Summary
[edit]DescriptionFlooding in Brazil (Copernicus).jpg |
English: This image, acquired by one of the Copernicus Sentinel-2 satellites on 6 June 2021, shows ongoing flooding in the state of Amazonas in Brazil. Severe flooding is affecting the northern states of Brazil due to the exceptional flooding of the Amazon River and its tributaries. In Manaus, the largest city in Brazil's Amazon rainforest, residents are struggling with flooding caused by the Rio Negro, which has reached its third highest level since 1920. Official estimates indicate that more than 450,000 people are directly affected by the exceptional flooding. In clear sky conditions, high-resolution open data from the Copernicus Sentinel-2 satellites allow for accurate delineation of the extent of floods and damage assessment. |
