| Description |
English: Kitakami River from space, In the wake of the magnitude 9.0 earthquake and resulting tsunami that struck northeastern Japan in March 2011, ocean waters flooded croplands and settlements lining the Kitakami River. The Advanced Spaceborne Thermal Emission and Reflection Radiometer (ASTER) on NASA’s Terra satellite captured these false-color image
The images combine infrared, red, and green wavelengths of light to form a false-color image that distinguishes between water and land. Water is blue. Buildings and paved surfaces appear in shades of blue-gray. Fallow fields appear in shades of beige and brown. Vegetation is red, and the brighter the red, the more robust the vegetation. Español: A raíz del terremoto de magnitud 9,0 y el tsunami resultante que asoló el noreste de Japón en marzo de 2011, las aguas del océano inundó las tierras de cultivo y asentamientos que bordean el río Kitakami. La emisión y reflexión Radiometer térmica espacial avanzado (ASTER) en el satélite Terra de la NASA capturó estas imágenes en falso color.
Las imágenes se combinan infrarrojo, rojo, verde y longitudes de onda de la luz para formar una imagen en falso color que distingue entre el agua y la tierra. El agua es azul. Edificios y superficies pavimentadas aparecen en tonos de azul-gris. Campos en barbecho que aparecen en tonos de beige y marrón. La vegetación es de color rojo, y más brillante es el color rojo, el más robusto de la vegetación. |
