Influence of Pixel Quality, Land Cover, and Hydroclimatic Cycle on Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer Inundation Monitoring Performance in the Pantanal, Brazil

Abstract

Moderate resolution imaging spectroradiometer (MODIS) time series (TS) have been widely applied for flood monitoring in large tropical wetlands. However, little systematic work is available on the influence of pixel quality, vegetation cover, and the annual hydroclimatic cycle on classification performance. In this study, this issue is examined based on a six-year, 250 m res-
