Wroclaw (Poland) - Oder river
The first image show the Oder river course from the city
of Wroclaw (lower right corner) to the town of Glogow
(central left), while the second one shows more in detail
the area around Wroclaw. The cluster of bright points at
the bottom left of the second image represents the town
of Legnica. A large flooding is clearly visible in blue
around the Oder river banks between Wroclaw and Scinawa
(second image), where the flowing direction of the river
has changed from E-W to S-N.
Somewhere, mainly in the left part of this image, the
colour of the water surfaces is dark blue or back; this
means that these sites are normally covered by water. The
light blue tones diffused over the second image depend on
the effect of the heavy rain fall during the satellite
acquisition.
