Title:
Terrestrial Biosphere
Instrument:
NOAA-7/AVHRR
Instrument:
Nimbus-7/CZCS
Description:
First topography and bathymetry, then biospheric data is overlayed onto a rotating globe
Duration: 17.0 seconds
Abstract:
In this sequence, an image of the biosphere of the earth is overlaid onto a sphere with both topographic and bathymetric relief. The ocean biospheric data is a composite of 31,352 4 km resolution Coastal Zone Color Scanner (CZCS) scenes from November 1978 through June 1981. The land vegetation patterns are derived from three years of daily images from the visible and near-infrared sensors of the NOAA-7 satellite.
