FLOD-Africa v1.0 provides monthly inundation extent across Africa from 1984 to 2024 at high spatial resolution (10–30 m). The dataset supports basin- to national-scale analyses of flood dynamics and consists of two components: FLOD-Africa-LS, derived from Landsat imagery at 30 m resolution, and FLOD-Africa-S2, derived from Sentinel-2 imagery at 10 m resolution. All data are distributed as GeoTIFF files at their native spatial resolutions. Scripts to regenerate the figures presented in the manuscript are provided in the separate archive FLOD_Africa_code.zip.
The data are organized into subfolders named by country using ISO 3166-1 alpha-3 (ISO3) codes. Files follow the naming convention YYYYMM.tif. For example: /AGO/198404.tif, 198405.tif, …, 202412.tif.
