In recent months, shipping traffic in the Panama Canal has been impacted by a unusually long dry season.

Summary[edit]

Description
English: In recent months, shipping traffic in the Panama Canal has been impacted by a unusually long dry season. The Panama Canal Authority has implemented water management measures and the number of crossings has been limited to 32 vessels a day with reductions in the cargo load a ship is allowed to carry. Images acquired by the Copernicus Sentinel-1A satellite’s radar on 15 July 2022 and 22 July 2023 show a significant drop in water levels in Lake Alajuela, one of the bodies of water feeding the flow of part of the canal. The Copernicus Sentinel-1A satellite uses radar imagery to capture images of the Earth's surface, even in cloudy or dark conditions. It can be used to map and track changes in the cover of water bodies and is useful for monitoring maritime traffic.
