Esperanza Fire
| Title |
Esperanza Fire |
| Description |
In late October, a fierce forest fire flared up in the mountainous terrain west of Palm Springs, California. The Esperanza Fire started in the foothills at the southern outskirts of the town of Cabazon, apparently as an act of arson. Driven by Santa Ana winds out of Great Basin deserts to the east, the fire raced over more than 40,000 acres in a matter of days, destroying 34 homes and 20 outbuildings in the area. Several firefighters died while battling the blaze.This high-resolution satellite image of the fire was captured on October 26, 2006, by the Thematic Mapper sensor on NASA's Landsat 5 satellite. The image was captured at 11:16 a.m. Pacific Daylight Time, roughly 10 hours after fire officials believe the fire began. At the top of the scene, the towns of Banning and Cabazon line Interstate 10, which appears as a thick, gray ribbon running through the dry, brown valley of San Gorgino Pass. Regular geometric shapes—straight lines and rectangles—are roads and buildings. Meandering, pale tracings show the paths of dry creeks and rivers. To the south, the foothill ranges of the San Jacinto Mountains begin. Fire was burning along ridgelines near McMullen and Hurley Flats. Gray-brown smoke stretches southwest in long plumes. A towering column of smoke west-southwest of McMullen flat casts a dramatic black shadow to the northwest. At the time of this image, the fire had already burned almost the entire landscape between Hurley Flat and the valley floor to the north, as well as nearly all the terrain bounded by the smoke plumes. Although the difference is subtle, burned areas appear charcoal-tinged when compared to unburned vegetation, such as the forested slopes of the Black Mountain Scenic Area at lower right. Unburned vegetation appears brownish-green. NASA image created by Jesse Allen, Earth Observatory, using data provided courtesy of Laura Rocchio, Landsat Project Science Office.

Perspective View, Mount Shas
…
| Title |
Perspective View, Mount Shasta, California |
| Description |
At more than 4,300 meters (14,000 feet ), Mount Shasta is California?s tallest volcano and part of the Cascade chain of volcanoes extending south from Washington. This computer-generated perspective viewed from the west also includes Shastina, a slightly smaller volcanic cone left of Shasta?s summit and Black Butte, another volcano in the right foreground. This 3-D perspective view was generated using topographic data from the Shuttle Radar Topography Mission [ http://earthobservatory.nasa.gov/cgi-bin/redirect?http://www.jpl.nasa.gov/srtm/ ] (SRTM) and an enhanced color Landsat 5 satellite image. Topographic expression is exaggerated two times. Landsat has been providing visible and infrared views of the Earth since 1972. SRTM elevation data matches the 30-meter (98-foot) resolution of most Landsat images and will substantially help in analyzing the large and growing Landsat image archive. Elevation data used in this image was acquired by the Shuttle Radar Topography Mission (SRTM) aboard the Space Shuttle Endeavour, launched on Feb. 11, 2000. Size: scale varies in this perspective image Location: 41.4 deg. North lat., 122.3 deg. West lon. Orientation: looking east Image Data: Landsat Bands 3,2,1 as red, green, blue, respectively Original Data Resolution: SRTM 1 arcsecond (30 meters or 98 feet), Thematic Mapper 1 arcsecond (30 meters or 98 feet) Date Acquired: February 2000 (SRTM) For more information, read: Pictures from the Real Edge: NASA Posts U.S. Topography Data [ http://earthobservatory.nasa.gov/cgi-bin/redirect?http://www.jpl.nasa.gov/releases/2002/release_2002_19.html ].

| Title |
Perspective View: San Diego, California |
| Description |
The influence of topography on the growth of the city of San Diego is seen clearly in this computer-generated perspective viewed from the south. The Peninsular Ranges to the east of the city have channeled development of the cities of La Mesa and El Cajon, which can be seen just above the center of the image. San Diego itself clusters around the bay enclosed by Point Loma and Coronado Island. In the mountains to the right, Lower Otay Lake and Sweetwater Reservoir show up as dark patches. This 3-D perspective view was generated using topographic data from the Shuttle Radar Topography Mission (SRTM) and an enhanced color Landsat 5 satellite image. Topographic expression is exaggerated two times. Landsat has been providing visible and infrared views of the Earth since 1972. SRTM elevation data matches the 30-meter (98-foot) resolution of most Landsat images and will substantially help in analyzing the large and growing Landsat image archive. Elevation data used in this image was acquired by the Shuttle Radar Topography Mission (SRTM) aboard the Space Shuttle Endeavour, launched on Feb. 11, 2000. SRTM used the same radar instrument that comprised the Spaceborne Imaging Radar-C/X-Band Synthetic Aperture Radar (SIR-C/X-SAR) that flew twice on the Space Shuttle Endeavour in 1994. SRTM was designed to collect 3-D measurements of the Earth?s surface. To collect the 3-D data, engineers added a 60-meter (approximately 200-foot) mast, installed additional C-band and X-band antennas, and improved tracking and navigation devices. Size: scale varies in this perspective image Location: 32.6 deg. North lat., 117.1 deg. West lon. Orientation: looking north Image Data: Landsat Bands 3, 2, 1 as red, green, blue, respectively Original Data Resolution: SRTM 1 arcsecond (30 meters or 98 feet), Thematic Mapper 1 arcsecond (30 meters or 98 feet) Date Acquired: February 2000 (SRTM) Image Courtesy SRTM Team [ http://earthobservatory.nasa.gov/cgi-bin/redirect?http://www.jpl.nasa.gov/srtm/ ] NASA/JPL/NIMA |

| Title |
Perspective View with Landsat Overlay, Mount Shasta, Calif. |
| Original Caption Released with Image |
The volcanic nature of Mount Shasta is clearly evident in this computer-generated perspective viewed from the northwest. At over 4,300 meters (14,000 feet), Mount Shasta is California's tallest volcano and part of the Cascade chain of volcanoes extending south from Washington. The twin summits of Shasta and Shastina tower over a lava flow on the flank of the volcano. Cutting across the lava flow is the bright line of a railroad. The bright area at the right edge is the town of Weed. This 3-D perspective view was generated using topographic data from the Shuttle Radar Topography Mission (SRTM) and an enhanced false-color Landsat 5 satellite image. Colors are from Landsat bands 3, 2, and 1 as red, green and blue, respectively. Topographic expression is exaggerated two times. Landsat has been providing visible and infrared views of the Earth since 1972. SRTM elevation data matches the 30-meter (98-foot) resolution of most Landsat images and will substantially help in analyzing the large and growing Landsat image archive. The Landsat Thematic Mapper image used here came from an online mosaic of Landsat images for the continental United States(http://mapus.jpl.nasa.gov), a part of NASA's Digital Earth effort. Elevation data used in this image was acquired by the Shuttle Radar Topography Mission (SRTM) aboard the Space Shuttle Endeavour, launched on Feb. 11, 2000. SRTM used the same radar instrument that comprised the Spaceborne Imaging Radar-C/X-Band Synthetic Aperture Radar(SIR-C/X-SAR) that flew twice on the Space Shuttle Endeavour in 1994. SRTM was designed to collect 3-D measurements of the Earth's surface. To collect the 3-D data, engineers added a 60-meter (approximately 200-foot) mast, installed additional C-band and X-band antennas, and improved tracking and navigation devices. The mission is a cooperative project between NASA, the National Imagery and Mapping Agency(NIMA) of the U.S. Department of Defense and the German and Italian space agencies. It is managed by NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory, Pasadena, Calif., for NASA's Earth Science Enterprise, Washington, D.C. Size: scale varies in this perspective image Location: 41.4 degrees North latitude, 122.3 degrees West longitude Orientation: looking southeast Image Data: Landsat Bands 3, 2, 1 as red, green, blue, respectively Original Data Resolution: SRTM 1 arcsecond (30 meters or 98 feet) Thematic Mapper 1 arcsecond (30 meters or 98 feet) Date Acquired: February 2000 (SRTM) |
