Summary
[edit]DescriptionWater colour of Lake Erie.jpg |
English: This image, acquired by one of the Copernicus Sentinel-2 satellites on 17 March 2021, shows swirls colouring the waters of Lake Erie, one of North America's Great Lakes. The swirls are visible in coastal areas and in deeper waters near the centre of Lake Erie. The colours ot the water, ranging from light brown, shades of light green, blue and white, are caused by the discharge of sediments from rivers and coastal areas into the lake after the winter thaw. The Copernicus Sentinel satellites orbit the Earth, capturing data and images using on-board sensors, some of which are particularly suited to studying and monitoring water quality and pollution. |
