SAR Orbit number: 46354
2 March 2004
Description:
This Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) multitemporal colour composite image is
centred over Riga (bright area top centre), the capital of Latvia, situated on the Baltic
Sea coast at the mouth of the Daugava River. The image shows a landscape of forests (grey
patches) and a fertile terrain (various colour patches indicating cultivated agricultural
fields), that is mostly entirely flat or a gently undulating plain.
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.
