Increasing human and economic losses due to urban floods demand rapid flood monitoring using synthetic aperture radar (SAR). In a global first, this study conducted simultaneous experiments using a flood experimental field that can reproduce the conditions of submerged buildings and satellite monitoring using the L-band SAR aboard the Advanced Land Observing Satellite-2 (ALOS-2). Through these experiments, we investigated the relationships among the threshold of interferometric coherence, the accuracy of urban flood detection, the multi-look number in interferometric processing, and floodwater depth. To achieve a better understanding of our experimental results, we also performed theoretical coherence simulations. Our results revealed that the coherence and flood detection accuracy statistically depends on the multi-look number and that 3×3 looks are needed to obtain reasonable accuracy. We also found that coherence-based change detection can detect urban floods with a depth of as little as 6 cm. There was no clear correlation between coherence and water depth. We also performed urban flood detection using ALOS-2 data from observed flood events; the results proved the validity of our theory and its applicability to actual disaster activities. Our findings enable robust urban flood monitoring and contribute to disaster prevention and mitigation.SAR, PALSAR-2, disaster monitoring, flooding, interferometry
