The Global Flood Monitoring (GFM) product is a new component of the EU’s Copernicus Emergency Management Service (CEMS) that provides continuous monitoring of floods worldwide, by processing and analysing in near real-time (NRT) all incoming Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) imagery acquired by the EU’s Copernicus Sentinel-1 satellites, in Interferometric Wide Swath (IW) mode and as Ground Range Detected (GRD) products. The GFM product is designed to deliver, in NRT, critical information on ongoing floods events to users worldwide, including national authorities, emergency units, research centres, decision-makers and other stakeholders.
