This SAR multi-temporal image of Edinburgh is generated from three separate acquisitions using the European Space Agency's environmental radar satellite ERS-2. This image was generated in occasion of the ESA exhibition in Edinburgh: the city is shown as a cluster of bright points in the south of the image along the coast.
The different colours of the fields can be explained by the change in vegetation during the different acquisitions. The different colours of the sea can be explained by different wind conditions during the acquisitions. Red 09 January 2000, Green 28 September 2000, Blue 10 May 2000.
