Naples Italy
SAR Orbit number: 48079
30 June 2004
Description:
This Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) multitemporal colour
composite image is centred over the area of Naples, located in the
southern part of Italy in the region of Campania. The image
illustrates: the city of Naples (large bright area) seated on the
northern edge of the Bay of Naples, the volcano Mount Vesuvius is to
the southeast, the islands of Ischia and Procida are to the west and
the island of Capri is southwest, to the southeast is
Salerno and the Gulf of Salerno. The different colours in the bay areas
indicate wind causing sea surface roughness on the date of acquisition.
The various colour patches to the north of the city of Naples are
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.
