However, we lack comprehensive observational tools with high temporal and spatial resolution to capture these fast-evolving hazards. Remotely sensed images provide extensive spatial coverage, but they may be limited by adverse weather conditions or platform revisiting schedule. River gauges could provide frequent water height measurement but they are sparsely distributed. Riverine flood and storm surge models, depending on input data quality and calibration process, have various uncertainties. These lead to inevitable temporal and spatial gaps in monitoring inundation dynamics. To fill in the observation gaps, this paper proposes a probabilistic method to estimate daily inundation probability by combining the information from multiple sources, including satellite remote sensing, riverine flood depth, storm surge height, and land cover. Each data source is regarded as a spatial evidence layer, and the weight of evidence is calculated by assessing the association between the evidence presence and inundation occurrence. Within a Bayesian model, the fusion results are daily inundation probability whenever at least one data source is available. The proposed method is applied to estimate daily inundation in Harris, Texas, impacted by Hurricane Harvey. The results agree with the reference water extent, high water mark, and extracted tweet locations. This method could help to further understand flooding as an evolving time-space process and support response and mitigation decisions.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/rs12091495","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2020,5,8]],"date-time":"2020-05-08T11:26:00Z","timestamp":1588937160000},"page":"1495","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":11,"title":["Estimating Daily Inundation Probability Using Remote Sensing, Riverine Flood, and Storm Surge Models: A Case of Hurricane Harvey"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"12","author":[{"given":"Jiayong","family":"Liang","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Cloud to Street, Brooklyn, NY 11217, USA"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-6088-5985","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Desheng","family":"Liu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Geography, The Ohio State University, Columbus, OH 43210, USA"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2020,5,8]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"1437","DOI":"10.1001\/jama.2017.14618","article-title":"Mitigating the mental and physical health consequences of hurricane harvey","volume":"318","author":"Shultz","year":"2017","journal-title":"JAMA"},{"key":"ref_2","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"341","DOI":"10.1175\/BAMS-D-12-00074.1","article-title":"Fatalities in the United States from Atlantic tropical cyclones: New data and interpretation","volume":"95","author":"Rappaport","year":"2014","journal-title":"Bull.
