Havana Cuba
SAR Orbit number: 23684
SAR, 31 October 1999
Description:
This Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) multitemporal colour
composite image is centred over the city of Havana, Cuba (bright area centre
image). The image shows a landscape consisting mostly of flat to rolling
plains and hills to the south of Havana.Visible also to the north are the
Straits of Florida and the greater North Atlantic Ocean, to the northwest is
the Gulf of Mexico, to the south is the Caribbean Sea. The various colour
patches sparse throughout the image are cultivated agricultural fields. The
circular coloured patterns in the central southern part of the island are
irrigated 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.
