Drought–flood abrupt alternation poses a growing threat to water security and climate resilience in the Northwestern Mediterranean region. Despite the increasing availability of Earth Observation (EO) data, there is a lack of operational, scalable tools to detect early signals of these sudden hydrological transitions. This study presents an open EO-based framework to monitor such events by fusing anomalies in soil moisture (SM), evapotranspiration (ET), and precipitation (P).
Standardized monthly deviations are computed over the last 10 years using high-resolution datasets from the Digital Twin Earth (DTE) platform and Copernicus services. These anomaly patterns are processed through a cloud-based geospatial environment to capture spatiotemporal divergence across key Mediterranean basins, reflecting the complex interactions of SM, ET, and P under climate stress.
The resulting study identifies zones exhibiting frequent and intense transitions, which are prioritized for detailed monitoring and early warning. The proposed approach is reproducible and scalable, offering valuable support for open monitoring systems and anticipatory water risk management in vulnerable regions.
