Earth Observation Satellite (EOS)‐04 launched on 14 February 2022, carries a C‐band Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) for Agriculture, Forestry, Hydrology, and Flood mapping applications. In this paper, we have used C‐band SAR images and near‐simultaneous observations from the global precipitation meas...
