WMS RP DOP10 Special Flight Flood rgb: Orthophoto Imagery of 2021 Eifel Floods

A web map service provides derived raster images from the Digital Orthophotos DOP10 special flight conducted for flood events. The Bundesamt für Kartographie und Geodäsie made this 3-channel real-color (RGB) orthophoto data available. The metadata was last updated on 2026-03-23.

Use Cases

• Assess flood extent and damage based on high-resolution aerial imagery.
• Monitor land cover changes in flood-affected regions based on real-color orthophotos.
• Create base maps for disaster response planning based on the special flight data.
• Validate hydrological or flood models using observed post-event imagery.

Strengths

• Data originates from a special flight mission specifically for flood documentation.
• Imagery is provided as 3-channel real-color (RGB) for visual interpretation.
• The dataset is served via a standardized Web Map Service (WMS) for interoperability.

Limitations

• Description metadata is limited; actual data quality requires manual inspection after download.
• Row count and file size are unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
