Severe Floods in Eastern RussiaIf a river has fairly steep natural levees or has eroded into the top
Severe Floods in Eastern RussiaIf a river has fairly steep natural levees or has eroded into the topography a lot, sometimes satellite images won’t show that much difference in the event of a severe flood.In these photos of the Amur River in Eastern Russia, that is not the case.This pair of shots captures flooding on the Amur river taken on August 21 2008 (upper) and August 21 2013 (lower) by the MODIS instrument on NASA’s Aqua Satellite.-JBBImage credit: NASA/Earth Observatory LANCE/EOSDIS MODIS Rapid Response Team at NASA GSFChttp://earthobservatory.nasa.gov/IOTD/view.php?id=81900 -- source link
