Waterlines delimiting the edge of the Hunga Tonga - Hunga Ha'apai island between April 2017 and April 2022 (NERC Grant NE/X002454/1)

Waterlines have been extracted to delimit the edge of the Hunga Tonga - Hunga Ha'apai island between April 2017 and April 2022. Waterline is defined as the instantaneous land - water boundary at the time of the imaging process. Waterlines have been generated by BGS - Earth Observation team through a thresholding-based classification based on Sentinel-2 multispectral imagery and developed on Google Earth Engine. Specifically, the thresholding has been applied to the Normalized Difference Water Index (NDWI) has been derived as a basis to discriminate between the land and sea based on their spectral characteristics. Changes in waterlines over volcanic islands can provide key information to understand volcanic processes. For more info on the methodology, see Novellino et al.

Statement: The Sentinel-2 images used as input to the workflow comprised Level-1C image products. These are composed of 100 × 100 km2 tiles that are ortho-images in cartographic geometry according to the UTM/WGS84 projection, with radiometric corrections applied to convert each pixel value from the digital number (DN) to Top of Atmosphere (TOA) reflectance. We use median values within a month period, pending availability of the data due to cloud coverage. The remaining images have been thresholded based on the Normalized Difference Water Index (NDWI) is used to as a basis to discriminate between the land and sea based on their spectral characteristics. Methodology is described in detail in Novellino et al., (2021) at https://doi.org/10.3390/app10020536
