Related data for: Mapping floodplain bathymetry in the middle-lower Amazon River using inundation frequency and field control

This dataset contains the bathymetry (at 100m) of 12 major floodplains along a 900 km reach of the middle-lower Amazon River (Manaus – Monte Alegre; total floodplain area of 5,164 km2), based on the inundation frequency (IF) derived from 36 years of Landsat data. Using a mathematical relationship between IF and surveyed depth at the Curuai floodplain in June 2004, this IF-depth model is applied across floodplains of the middle-lower Amazon to estimate bathymetry. The bathymetry is validated with field survey data across eight floodplains (covering over 200km survey distance) collected in June – July 2016.
