Landscape turns to brown
Posted: 30 Sep 2010 05:54 AM
The featured image shows a comparison between a Terra MODIS satellite
image from last month and yesterday. The landscape has gone from a
lush green to a dull brown, which is a good thing since it means the
agricultural crops are drying up to support their harvest. This
change also has an implication for how effectively the sun is able to
warm the surface up (albedo). Maybe in another month or two this
comparison would show the landscape turning white, but lets enjoy the
fall season first!
