GRACE Follow-On revealed Bangladesh was flooded early in the 2020 monsoon season due to premature soil saturation
Open accessAbstract
Significance: We report how much water flooded Bangladesh during the 2020 wet monsoon period and explain why the 2020 monsoonal flooding started unusually early, lasted longer, and was more severe than flooding in other years. The laser-ranging instrument on GRACE Follow-On spacecraft detected the size and timing of this unusual flooding event, and we found that the 2020 flooding was worsened by soils saturated earlier than usual by a premonsoon cyclone. We highlight the importance of including the antecedent soil moisture condition in the present flood forecasting and warning practices in Bangladesh.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
