This map illustrates satellite-detected flood waters along the Kunene River channel, detected from a DMC satellite image recorded at 32 meters spatial resolution on 25 March 2008. There has been speculation of a possible hydraulic connection between the Kunene River and the Cuvelai drainage basin in Namibia. A close inspection of the imagery and detected water strongly suggests no water flow across this traditional watershed boundary, and thus Kunene flood waters are not contributing to the flooding in the Cuvelai. This analysis is preliminary and needs to be validated in the field. Map scale for A3: 1:220,000; Projection : UTM Zone 33 South; Datum : WGS 1984.

BottomRight: -17.416 x 15.917

This map illustrates satellite-detected flood waters as of 25 March 2008 over the affected areas of southern Angola. Detected flood waters are shown in red. Flood analysis was made using DMC data recorded 25 March 2008 at a spatial resolution of 30 meters. Note: Differences in the flood extent between earlier flood maps do not necessarily indicate significant changes in water levels but may be due to differences in the spatial and spectral resolution of satellite sensors. This flood detection is a preliminary analysis & has not yet been validated in the field. Map scale for A3: 1:420,000; Projection : UTM Zone 33 South; Datum : WGS 1984.

TopLeft: -16.634175 x 14.793786
BottomRight: -17.407745 x 15.892917

This map illustrates satellite-detected flood waters as of 20 March 2008 over the affected areas of southern Angola. Detected flood waters are shown in red. Flood analysis was made using Radarsat data recorded 20 March 2008 at a spatial resolution of 25 meters. Note: the flood water extent shown in this map is significantly greater than the extent shown in the previous flood detection map (version 1.0) published 20 March 2008. This difference thus does not indicate an absolute increase in water levels but is due to differences in the spatial and spectral resolution of satellite sensors. This flood detection is a preliminary analysis & has not yet been validated in the field. Map scale for A3: 1:360,000; Projection : UTM Zone 33 South; Datum : WGS 1984.
