  abstract = {{T}his article reviews the state of the art in the use of space-borne observations for analyzing extreme rainfall and flood events in {A}frica. {F}loods occur across many space and timescales, from very localized flash flood events to slow propagation of discharge peaks in large rivers. {W}e discuss here how satellite data can help us understand the genesis and impacts of these flood events, monitor their evolution, and better constrain prediction models, thereby improving early warning and population protection. {T}o illustrate these topics, we reanalyze major flood events that occurred in {N}iger, {M}ozambique, {C}entral {A}frican {R}epublic and {I}vory {C}oast, using satellite information.},
