WHIGG simulates the flood area triggered by tsunami in Sendai Japan. TEXT SIZE:A A A

PH.D Chai Xiaobin simulated the flood area triggered by tsunami in Sendai Japan. He made used of image data of ASTER GDEM and EO-1ALI, and the simulation result showed a heap of rubble in the simulate flood area. The ASTERE GDEM image used was the highest resolution DEM model with global coverage. The EO-1 AL1 image data was the latest image after the big hit, and the background of the image was ALI multiband data whose resolution was improved to full color 10m by adopting image fuse technic.
