Summary

[edit]
Description
English: At the beginning of February 2021, most Eastern European countries were affected by heavy snowfall. At the end of the month, a record heatwave hit continental Europe rapidly melting the snow away. Large water flows caused by the snowmelt reached the Danube river, the second-longest river in Europe which collects river waters from Germany's Black Forest to the Black Sea via the Danube river delta. This image, acquired by one of the Copernicus Sentinel-2 satellites on 26 February 2021, shows the massive sediment discharge from the Danube river delta. The Copernicus Sentinel-2 satellites, with their Multi-Spectral Instrument, deliver useful information about water colour and its effect on water quality.
