Flooding has been detected by satellite along the Red River of the North for more than a week (see this blog post from late April)<\/a>. The image above shows the Flood Estimates (from this website<\/a>). The image below (courtesy William Straka, CIMSS) shows a high-resolution downscaled Flood-water depth map derived from VIIRS imagery only.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

An interesting aspect of this flooded land is that it affecting the boundary layer of the atmosphere, as shown below. Band 2 imagery (0.64 \u00b5m) shows lake breeze clouds developing around the lake; the Band 3 imagery (0.87 \u00b5m), farther below, better articulates the location of the land\/water boundary. Dryer air moving in later in the day leads to dissipation of the clouds.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

NOAA-20 overflew this region at around 1800 UTC on 3 May 2022. The toggle below (using imagery taken from the CIMSS<\/a> Direct Broadcast site for NOAA-20 located here<\/a>), shows VIIRS Bands I01 through I04 (0.64 \u00b5m, 0.86 \u00b5m, 1.61 \u00b5m and 3.74 \u00b5m) at that time. The lake-breeze clouds are very apparent, and the cold waters of the lake are also obvious in the I04 imagery.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
