Florence Italy
SAR Orbit number: 50398
9 December 2004
Description:
 This Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) multitemporal
colour composite image is centred over the city of Florence, Italy (bright area
centre image), situated in central Italy. The images illustrates an area with a
varied and complex morphology; ranges of mountains (to the north) and hills
alternate with intermontane basins and strips of plain. Also visible is the
course of the Arno river, where it crosses the image from Mount Falterona (near
the city of Arezzo, in Casentino area), through the city of Florence and
proceeds onward towards the Tyrrhenian Sea. 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.
