Indian Ocean, satellite imaging data C016 / 3718

Indian Ocean, satellite imaging data. Computer graphic of the Indian Ocean on an Earth globe, showing the various parameters that can be measured by satellite instruments. Sea floor topography (bathymetry) is from the ERS-1 and Geosat satellites. Other parameters are (clockwise from lower left): sea surface temperature from an infrared radiometer (ATSR on the ERS-1 satellite); cloud cover (MODIS on Terra); rainfall from a microwave imager (Tropical Rainfall Monitoring Mission); chlorophyll concentration (MODIS on Aqua); wind speed from a microwave scatterometer (QuickScat); sea ice cover from an imaging radar (SAR on Radarsat)

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Indian Ocean, satellite imaging data C016 / 3718" showcases the incredible capabilities of satellite instruments in capturing and measuring various parameters of our planet. The computer graphic depicts the Indian Ocean on an Earth globe, highlighting key features and phenomena observed through advanced technology. The image presents a wealth of information derived from different satellites. Starting from the lower left corner and moving clockwise, we can see sea surface temperature measured by an infrared radiometer (ATSR), cloud cover captured by MODIS on Terra, rainfall data obtained from a microwave imager (Tropical Rainfall Monitoring Mission), chlorophyll concentration detected by MODIS on Aqua, wind speed measurements collected using a microwave scatterometer (QuickScat), and sea ice cover visualized with an imaging radar (SAR on Radarsat). Furthermore, this comprehensive view also includes sea floor topography acquired from ERS-1 and Geosat satellites. The stunning combination of these diverse datasets offers valuable insights into oceanic processes, weather patterns, marine biology studies, physical geography research, and earth observation. Through this remarkable collaboration between science and technology provided by PLANETARY VISIONS LTD/SCIENCE PHOTO LIBRARY's expertise in satellite imagery analysis, we gain a deeper understanding of our planet's complex dynamics while appreciating its natural beauty. This print serves as a testament to human ingenuity in harnessing space-based resources for scientific exploration purposes.
