  1. I checked out their documentation and saw this:
    Working group (SNWG) development activities: 1. A near-global Dynamic Surface Water Extent (DSWx) product
    2. A near-global land-surface change (DIST) product
    3. A North America land-surface displacement (DISP) product

    In addition, OPERA will produce two intermediate L2 data products:

    4. A North-America land co-registered single look complex (CSLC) product
    5. A near-global land-surface radiometric terrain-corrected (RTC) product

    I’m curious what sorts of practical applications there are for this. I’m guessing fresh water access boundaries, floodwater risks maps maybe. What other sorts of cool and interesting things are happening with this?
