Abstract

We present the validation methodology and results of Dynamic Surface Water eXtent from Harmonized Landsat Sentinel-2 (DSWx-HLS). The DSWx-HLS product is the first of the DSWx suite, comprised of products each which map water from Earth Observation optical and SAR satellites. We detail the generation of high-resolution (3 m) validation datasets from a globally-stratified sample of dry, moderate, and wet sites. We provide the precise accounting of the classification metrics used to verify the Observational Products for End-users from Remote Sensing Analysis (OPERA) project requirements. We also report broader classification metrics across the validation datasets considered. OPERA performs validation in the public domain to ensure that the validation activities are transparent and reproducible. The resulting validation datasets and provisional OPERA products are publicly available; the software used for validation is also open-source.
