The Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer ( modis.gsfc.nasa.gov MODIS ) on NASA's aqua.nasa.gov/ Aqua satellite detected signs of flooding in Albania on December 4, 2005, top image. Muddy water, clouded with sediment from storm run-off, colors the coastal waters of the Adriatic Sea a brilliant blue. On land, swollen rivers form a faint web of pale blue where only green vegetation existed on November 13, 2005, lower image. According to news reports, the floods were caused by heavy rains on December 2. Clouds, blue and white in these false-color images, still covered much of the country on December 4.

The large images provided above have a resolution of 250 meters per pixel, MODIS maximum resolution. The MODIS Rapid Response Team provides rapidfire.sci.gsfc.n asa.gov/fas/?Europe_ 3_03/2005338 daily images of the region in a variety of resolutions.
