Description:
Abstract:
The greater St. Louis area of Missouri and Illinois and areas of southern Illinois and Kentucky experienced heavy precipitation and severe flooding during late July and early August 2022. The United States Department of Agriculture's National Agricultural Statistics Service (NASS) responded to inquiries regarding the extent of flooding over agricultural land in Missouri, Illinois, and Kentucky. Analysis completed using several freely available data products, including Sentinel-1 Synthetic Aperture Radar, Sentinel-2 Modified Normalized Water Index (MNDWI), soil moisture data from Crop-CASMA (Crop Condition and Soil Moisture Analytics), and the NASS 2021 Cropland Data Layer. For this event, inundation raster files for the areas of interest are included for download. The official website <https://www.nass.usda.gov/Research_and_Science/Disaster-Analysis/> provides disaster assessments in geospatial data format, reports, and metadata as available. These data are not official NASS estimates.
Purpose:
Agricultural disaster monitoring is important for food security and economic stability. Using remotely sensed data and geospatial techniques provides an additional tool for the USDA NASS to use in evaluating a disaster's impact on US agriculture.

Process_Description:
The USDA NASS has developed methodology to monitor the impact of hurricanes on US agriculture in near real-time using remotely sensed data and geospatial techniques. The first test case is detailed in the following papers <https://www.nass.usda.gov/Research_and_Science/Disaster-Analysis/2018/Hurricane-Michael/Flood_Monitoring_Methodology_Paper.pdf> and <https://www.nass.usda.gov/Research_and_Science/Cropland/docs/Boryan_IGARSS2018%20_Flood.pdf>. The methodology continues to evolve and has been modified for other natural disaster scenarios, such as flooding and fires as well as modifying the workflow to be conducted within Google Earth Engine. These data are not considered official NASS estimates.

Entity_and_Attribute_Overview:
Note of Caution: There are several causes for inundation/anomalous water, which could potentially include flooding, saturated fields from rainfall, ponding, or intentionally flooded rice and aquaculture fields. Areas of inundation are then intersected with cropland as identified in the NASS Cropland Data Layer (CDL).
