The anomaly index uses daily Soil Water Index to quantify the moisture condition at various depths in the soil. It is mainly driven by precipitation via the process of infiltration. The data is available at 10km resolution, based on SSM (Surface Soil Moisture) observations from MetOp-ASCAT satell...


Amarnath, Giriraj[Bundled Solutions of Index Insurance with Climate Information and Seed Systems to manage Agricultural Risks (BICSA).]Bundled Solutions of Index Insurance with Climate Information and Seed Systems to manage Agricultural Risks (BICSA).

Capturing inundation extent by floods is indispensable for decision making for mitigating hazard. Satellite images have commonly been used for flood mapping, but there are limitations such as unavailability due to satellite’s orbital period or cloud cover. Additionally, it would also be beneficia...

Northern Bihar is one of the major flood prone region in India affecting thousands of human lives and livelihoods during the recurrent floods occurring due to the monsoonal rains. While it is impossible to prevent the occurrence of extreme flood events, disaster planning can help in mitigating it...

The satellite radar altimetry datasets are now extensively used for continental water monitoring although it was primarily designed for oceanic surface and ice cap studies. Water level estimated from satellite altimetry can help to assess many hydrological parameters like river discharge and rese...

Amarnath, GirirajYoshimoto, ShuheiGoto, O.Fujihara, M.Smakhtin, V.Aggarwal, Pramod K.Ravan, S.[Global trends in water-related disasters using publicly available database for hazard and risk assessment]Global trends in water-related disasters using publicly available database for hazard and risk assessment

Climate change magnifies the risk of disasters and increases their costs. As the climate system has warmed, the number of weather-related hazards globally has tripled, and the number of people living in flood-prone areas and cyclone-exposed coastlines has doubled – and this trend is expected to i...
