Other Remote Sensing Systems - SeaWifs

The final introductory image, also constructed from a multispectral satellite sensor which produces color imagery. It is a natural color "portrait" of the entire globe, in which vegetation-rich areas are in green, vegetation-poor (including deserts) areas are in various shades of yellow and brown, and ice is in white. The sensor is SeaWifs, an ocean-water, color satellite, launched on August 1, 1997. See the oceanography subsection in Section 14 for more details on this program.
