Amazon’s 2023 drought: Sentinel-1 reveals extreme Rio Negro River contraction

The Amazon, the world’s largest rainforest, faces a severe historic drought. The Rio Negro River, one of the major Amazon River tributaries, reaches its lowest level in a century in October 2023. Here, we used a U-net deep learning model to map water surfaces in the Rio Negro River basin every 12 days in 2022 and 2023 using 10 m spatial resolution Sentinel-1 satellite radar images.
