Prague, Czech Republic
SAR Orbit number: 48494
29 July 2004
Description:
This Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) multitemporal colour composite
image is centred over Prague (large bright area), the capital and largest city of
the Czech Republic. It is situated on the Vltava river, that flows across the
image from south to north. It spans seven hills, which are split by the river and
connected by 16 bridges. From the image it is detectable that the area consists
primarily of rolling hills, farmland, and fertile river beds.
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.
