Floods in India and Banglade
…
| Title |
Floods in India and Bangladesh |
| Description |
A web of dark blue and black flood water covers the region surrounding the Bangladeshi capital, Dhaka, in this image, acquired by the Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer [ http://modis.gsfc.nasa.gov ] (MODIS) on NASA?s Terra [ http://terra.nasa.gov/ ] satellite on August 3, 2004. The Ganges River runs into the image from the upper left corner, and the Meghna River flows down from the upper right corner. The flood waters are slowing draining away, though the capital city remains partially submerged. New reports say that the floods have claimed 740 lives in Bangladesh, and the number is expected to rise as water-borne disease spreads. The floods were triggered by heavy monsoon rains in June and July. The above image is in false color to highlight the flood waters. Vegetation is bright green, water is dark blue and black, and clouds are light blue. The high-resolution image is at MODIS? maximum resolution of 250 meters per pixel, though the image is available in additional resolutions [ http://rapidfire.sci.gsfc.nasa.gov/subsets/?FAS_Bangladesh/2004216/FAS_Bangladesh.2004216.terra.721 ].

Floods in Bangladesh
| Title |
Floods in Bangladesh |
| Description |
By June 20, 2007, the summer's first floods had engulfed northeastern Bangladesh. Monsoon rains routinely flood the low-lying country in the summer, though some years are worse than others. This image, captured by the Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS [ http://modis.gsfc.nasa.gov ]) on NASA's Aqua [ http://aqua.nasa.gov/ ] satellite, is centered on the northeast administrative region, Sylhet. Water, dark blue and black in the false-color image, covers most of the region. The floods destroyed several villages, trapped thousands of families, and forced thousands of evacuations, reported the Gulf Times on June 20. Officials were expecting the floods to worsen as monsoon rains continue to fall. The lower image, captured by Terra MODIS, shows Bangladesh on May 1, before the monsoon started. Even during the dry season, the region is spotted with dark pools of water, an indication that the land may be marshy year-round. Both images were made with a combination of infrared and visible light to increase the contrast between water and earth. Plant-covered land is bright green, bare earth is tan, and clouds are light blue and white. The Bangladeshi capital, Dhaka, is a concentrated area of gray in the lower left corner of the image.Daily images [ http://rapidfire.sci.gsfc.nasa.gov/subsets/?FAS_Bangladesh ] of Bangladesh are available from the MODIS Rapid Response System in both false color, as shown here, and photo-like true color.
