'Fifth season' in Soomaa
Submitted by Looduskalender on 28 March 2010 - 9:46am
It seems to be truly the last moment to start following the "fifth season” of Soomaa.
The web camera image is renewed at intervals up to a few minutes, depending on the transmission conditions (see live image HERE ). For an overall view this interval is quite sufficient. A mark showing last year’s highest water level will soon be put up at the web camera location at Karukosk at Raudna river.
The Riisa station of EMHI, the Estonian Meteorological and Hydrological Institute, is located a few kilometres downstream along Halliste river from the outflow of Raudna, and reflects the water level in Soomaa (see graph below).
Why do we also add EMHI’s snow cover map, renewed every day? Because there is still emough snow left in Soomaa, and the ditches haven’t yet started carrying the water into the rivers.
Floods can also be observed in the Regio map. The NASA satellite image, renewed daily, is used as a basis. It needs only enlarging the map at Soomaa’s position. The ground and water surfaces can only be seen in clear, cloudless weather.
A great number of splendid people and organisations assist the enterprise. Many thanks to them!

This camera is near Pärnu, Estonia – spring flooding camera, placed on the coast of river Raudna whick will flood a the eather changes and the snow melts. This river can raise water level sometimes more than 4 meters. Camera is called Soomaa 5th season camera because local villages name 5th season the flooding time when life in villages of Soomaa will completely change and the only way to travel is dugout canoe. Some information about this area can be found on http://www.soomaa.com/ english page.
Camera sends 1 frame per second but as this place is in a very wild area the connection is not good all the time and actual frames may change even after 10 seconds. Frames will be composed together to day videos showing in fast movement how river water level is rising. Camera can be seen http://www.looduskalender.ee/node/6925 (on the first image in real time).
With many thanks to Kaido, our Webmaster, for this information.
