Normalized Difference Moisture Index (NDMI) processed 2021 Landsat 8 OLI imagery over land and Sentinel-2 MSI over ocean, ranging from yellow (low) to blue (high), for Hilo, Hawaii. Overlayed with four-day rainfall accumulation cells in blue acquired during Hurricane Lane (Aug 22-25, 2018) from CHIRPS Daily. NDMI monitors water content of leaves and is useful for classifying land cover. Impervious surfaces and areas that have received excessive historical rainfall are susceptible to future flood events.
