ISO spatial-coverage percentage describes product coverage, not the percentage of the event corridor observed.
Surface-water product; sensor-specific outputs are not harmonized. Cloud, shadow, terrain and QA layers must accompany interpretation.
Both inventory granules are June 27 baselines. Late-August processing does not make them post-event observations.
NASA documents free Earthdata registration. This review did not sign in or retrieve protected science files; anonymous denial is not a finding that the dataset is unavailable.
