Inky black splotches along Croatia?s Sava River show where the river has expanded in a springtime flood. The
Mod erate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) on the
Ter ra satellite recorded the top scene on
March 29, 2004. The region had recently been inundated with heavy rains, which undoubtedly were partially responsible for the floods. However, a Terra MODIS image taken on
March 18, hints that melting snow also contributed to the rising waters. On March 18, snow, shown in light blue in the false-color scenes, covered the Dinaric Alps along the Adriatic Sea. By March 29, most of the snow was gone.
The high resolution images provided above are at MODIS? maximum resolution of 250 meter per pixel. Both the
March 29 image and the
Mar ch 18 image are also available in true-color.
