"This notebook presents a SAR-based flood mapping approach that largely follows a methodology developed by the German Aerospace Center and published in Sentinel-1-based flood mapping: a fully automated processing chain by Twele et al.. The approach is based on radiometricall terrain corrected (RTC processed) Sentinel-1 SAR data and applies a dynamic thresholding method followed by fuzzy-logic-based post processing procedure. This notebook implements the initial threshold-based flood mapping approach but, for simplicity, does not include the fuzzy-logic post processing steps. \n",
"\n",
"The approach is based on image amplitude data and is capable of detecting standing surface water. Note that flooding under vegetation will not be detected by this approach.\n",

" Important Notes about Binder \n",
"
\n",
" The Binder server will automatically shutdown when left idle for more than 10 minutes. Your notebook edits will be lost when this happens. You will need to relaunch the binder to continue working in a fresh copy of the notebook.\n",

"The Easy Way\n",
"
\n",
"Click on the Jupyter logo at the top left of the screen to access the file manager. Download the notebook, then upload and run it the next time you restart the server.\n",
"
\n",
"The Better, More Complicated Way\n",
"
\n",
"This solution requires some knowledge of git. Fork the asf-jupyter-notebook repository and update the url for the Binder launch button to the url of your fork. The url to edit can be found in the first line of the README.md file for this branch. Once you have your own fork, push any notebook changes to it prior to shutting down the server or allowing it to time out. \n",
