Summary
[edit]DescriptionEffects of the drought on the Great Salt Lake, USA (Copernicus).jpg |
English: This image, acquired by one of the Copernicus Sentinel-2 satellites on 24 July 2021, shows the current state of the Great Salt Lake in the United States In late July 2021, water levels at the Great Salt Lake in Utah reached a historical recorded low, while historically the lake reaches its lowest levels in October. Comparing the water level on the latest imagery with a water delineation derived from Landsat-5 images acquired in August 1985 (red line) shows that the level of the lake has significantly decreased, and several bay areas are now nearly totally dry. Data acquired by the Copernicus Sentinel satellites are used to detect and monitor water bodies globally. |
