| Description | The Advisory Flag layer indicates pixels that potentially suffer from decreased contrast between water and non-water surfaces due to meteorological factors as wet snow, frost and dry soil or wind-roughened water. Pixels marked by the Advisory Flag are not excluded by the Exclusion Mask, but users are advised caution when using the observed water and flood extents over flagged areas. |
