Summary
[edit]DescriptionSediment plume of the Rhône river (Copernicus).jpg |
English: This image, acquired by one of the Copernicus Sentinel-2 satellites on 12 May 2021, shows the sediment plume discharged into the Mediterranean Sea by the mouth of the Rhône river in southern France. Between 10 and 11 May 2021, heavy rainfalls affected the departments of Rhône, Loire, Haute-Loire and Ardèche in southern France. According to Météo France, the rainfall caused record daily accumulations for the month of May in some areas. As a result, rivers swelled, inducing floods of the Rhône River, which, as this image shows, was still gushing into the Mediterranean Sea the day after the storm episode. Copernicus Sentinel-2 is a mission composed of two satellites. Each satellite carries a high-resolution multispectral sensor to monitor vegetation changes and to provide information on pollution in lakes and coastal waters. |
