The Observational Products for End-Users from Remote Sensing Analysis (OPERA) near-global Surface Water Extent imagery layer is a Level-3 product that maps surface water every few days. The resolution is 30 m and the layer has 5 classifications: Not Water, Open Water, Partial Surface Water, Snow/Ice, and Cloud/Cloud Shadow. The input dataset for generating each product is the Harmonized Landsat Sentinel-2 (HLS) dataset, which includes data from Landsat 8, Sentinel-2A and Sentinel-2B. | ||
Near-global surface water extent at 30 meter resolution is available in Worldview through the Observational Products for End-Users from Remote Sensing Analysis (OPERA) project. The Level-3 product maps surface water every few days. The layer has 5 classifications: Not Water, Open Water, Partial Surface Water, Snow/Ice, and Cloud. The input dataset is the Harmonized Landsat Sentinel-2 (HLS) dataset, and currently uses data from Landsat 8, Sentinel-2A and Sentinel-2B. |

**Laguna de Aculeo, Chile** | ||
The lake is a two hours' drive from Santiago, Chile and was a long-time popular summer vacationing spot to go boating, swimming, and water skiing. A combination of nearby population growth, purchasing of water rights for agriculture, and drought caused the shallow lake to go dry in 2018. This true-color reflectance image from 18 May 2023 from the European Space Agency's Sentinel-2A and 2B satellites show a dry lake bed in shades of brown in the center of the map. | ||

Overlaid on these true-color reflectance images is the OPERA surface water extent layer and it highlights the refilled lake in shades of blue, indicating open water and partial surface water. The layer is designed to improve our understanding of the spatial and temporal variations of land inundation by surface water. It is currently unclear how long this lake will remain filled, but as of 19 December 2023 in the right image, the lake appears to be at a similar water level as the left image of 15 September. | ||

**Indus River Valley Monsoon Rains** | ||
The Indus River Valley receives heavy monsoon rains each summer which contribute to the apperance of extensive surface waters. These false-color reflectance images from Landsat 8 and 9 show water in dark blues. The left image is from 3 May 2023, before the monsoon rains, and the right side is from 7 August 2023, and if you swipe the bar back and forth you can see the extent of floodwaters along the riverbanks and in the surrounding region. | ||

**Return of Lake Tulare** | ||
Tulare Lake in San Joaquin Valley, California, was once the largest freshwater lake west of the Mississippi River but feeder rivers were diverted for irrigation and municipal water use. Since the 1920s, the dry lake bed has been used to grow crops like almonds and tomatoes. The right "B" side shows how heavy rains caused the area to flood and re-fill. |
