Apports de l’imagerie satellite pour le suivi de l’impact des événements cycloniques à Madagascar

This study focuses on the use of earth observation data for the monitoring of tropical cyclones and their impact in the South-western Indian Ocean. Two recent events that occurred in Madagascar are investigated: (i) Haruna, that hit the south-western coast in February 2013 and (ii) Enawo, that hit t...

description This study focuses on the use of earth observation data for the monitoring of tropical cyclones and their impact in the South-western Indian Ocean. Two recent events that occurred in Madagascar are investigated: (i) Haruna, that hit the south-western coast in February 2013 and (ii) Enawo, that hit the north-eastern coast in March 2017. The results showed that satellite imagery is suitable for the quantification of hurricane-related floods over Madagascar territory. The synergetic use of optical and SAR (Synthetic Aperture Radar) sensors, with high temporal and spatial resolution allowed to : (i) carry out a near-real time monitoring of floods caused by Haruna during the crisis and a characterization of water level subsidence in post-crisis (combining SPOT 5, RADARSAT-2 and Pléiades images), (ii) a mapping of floods related to Enawo in urban areas and in rice fields in the regions of Sambava and Maroantsetra (combining Sentinel-1, Sentinel-2, and participatory mapping).
