Los Angeles USA
SAR Orbit number: 43611
3 November 2003
Description:
This Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) multitemporal colour composite image is
centred over most of the city of Los Angeles (grey area), a large coastal metropolis
located in southern California in the western United States. The area is situated in a
semitropical Mediterranean climate zone, with no significant seasonal changes, therefore
resulting in a less colourful multitemporal coloured image. Visible landmarks are: the
Port of Los Angeles, located on San Pedro Bay (centre left), the Los Angeles River, a
seasonal river that flows through Los Angeles and empties into the San Pedro Bay, and the
Santa Ana Mountain Range (centre left).
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.
