Powerpoint record of this display, 2001-Present
GIS data for this display are located at: http://floodobservatory.colorado.edu/GISdata/. See http://rapidfire.sci.gsfc.nasa.gov/subsets/ for geographic location of the MODIS 250 m 721 image subsets used to create the surface water extent files. The GISdata directory is organized to match these subsets. Younger MODIS data are from NASA/GSFC, MODIS Rapid Response; older data from EOSDIS MODIS swaths.
