SatVITS-Flood is based on observations that floods are the primary cause of local vegetation expansion in hyperarid regions. To detect such expansion, we used two time series metrics: (1) trend change detection from the Breaks For Additive Season and Trend (BFAST-trend) and (2) a newly developed seasonal change metric based on Temporal Fourier Analysis (TFA) and the growing-season integral anomaly (TFA-GSIanom). The two metrics complement each other by capturing changes in perennial species following extreme, rare floods and ephemeral vegetation changes following more frequent floods. Metrics were derived from the time series of the normalized difference vegetation index (NDVI), the modified soil-adjusted vegetation index (MSAVI), and the normalized difference water index (NDWI), acquired from MODIS, Landsat, and AVHRR. The timing of the change w...

For steep (>0.10) bedrock channels the average step length is quasi-constant. Well developed steps found in very small, lithologically homogeneous channels suggest that low magnitude high frequency events play a role in their formation. In Nahal Meshushim (drainage area 14 km 2 ) the water surface reconstructed from the highest flood marks indicates that all steps, though partly submerged, retain clear discontinuities between moderately sloping segments.
