The heavy rain may induce flood disaster inundating crop lands while the long period of the continues heavy rainfall may strongly affect the growth of crops even not evolving into a flood disaster. The impact of heavy rainfall on the growth of crops is a gradual process due to the long period of time needed for soil to become saturated. Multi-satellites remote sensing observations can capture and characterize the ground conditions over large area in multiply time. To develop the potential applications of the multi-satellites remote sensing observations, this paper proposes a method of extracting dynamic information of heavy rain disaster and its impacts on the growth of crops using multi-satellites data including Terra/MODIS, Landsat and Sentinel. We implemented the application of the proposed method in the studying area around Chaohu lake, where the heavy rainfall started from the end of June and continued to August in 2016, and a heavier rain in July brought about the flood in large crop areas. The beginning period and the duration of the heavy rainfall, leading to the impacts on the growth of crops, were identified using a dynamic threshold method of multi-temporal NDVI derived from MODIS. Based on this information, the area with crop fields impacted by heavy rainfall and flooded were obtained. On the other hand, the dynamic information of flooded lands was extracted by using Landsat observing data in July and Sentinel observation data in August, respectively. These results provide more accurate area of flooded crop fields, and can be used to modify the area derived from MODIS although they have only few temporal data available. In conclusion, multi-satellites remote sensing, as one of the tools for monitoring and assessing the influences of heavy rainfall, can obtain the dynamic information of the heavy rainfall impacts on the growth of crops in addition to flooded land area and the recovery of the farmland, which provide the supporting scientific data for the assessment of the loss caused by the disaster and making the disaster relief policy.
