Inundation area time series are important for wetlands monitoring and hydrological model validation. This study is conducted in Biebrza floodplain, which is a natural wetland with complex inundation generation processes. In order to map 2014-2018 series of inundation in the floodplain we test our automatic thresholding method on Sentinel 1 data. The threshold value is optimized using correlation of the inundation area with observed discharge at the floodplain outlet. The inundation maps match well the MODIS 500m reflectance data used as a reference, whereas, the total inundated area per Sentinel 1 image match well the observed discharge pattern. Unfortunately, this approach was unable to identify inundation in remote parts of the floodplain, what may have few reasons and needs further investigation.
