Buenos Aires Argentina
SAR Orbit number: 39536
12 November 2002
Description:
This Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) multitemporal colour composite image is
centred over Buenos Aires, the city capitol of Argentina and its largest city and port,
as well as one of the largest cities in South America. Buenos Aires is located on the
southern side of the La Plata River, on the southeast coast of the South American
continent and covers an area of almost 3,885 square kilometres. The terrain of the area
consists almost entirely of a flat or gently undulating plain. The various colour patches
to the west and south of the city indicate cultivated agricultural fields.
The image is made of three ERS-2 SAR PRI (Precision Radar Image) images acquired on
different dates and assigning a colour (RGB) to each date of acquisition.
