Multi-angle
Imaging SpectroRadiometer (MISR) images of Florida acquired on April 9,
2000 during Terra orbit 1650. The image at the top is a color view acquired
by the vertical (nadir) camera. It has been reoriented so that the flight
path is from left to right, to facilitate comparison with the lower image,
a stereo anaglyph generated using 275-m resolution red band data from
the cameras viewing 45.6 degrees and 70.5 degrees aft of nadir. The anaglyph
provides a three-dimensional effect when viewed using red/blue glasses
with the red filter placed over the left eye. This stereoscopic "depth
perception" and the variation in brightness as a function of view angle
enables scientists to assess the climate impact of different types of
cloud fields. The plume from a large brush fire that burned about 15,000
acres is visible at the western edge of the Big Cypress Swamp in southern
Florida.
