Pre-flood Missouri River (image 1 of 2). Coloured three-dimensional computer image,based on satell- ite data,of the Missouri River,USA. The image was taken on 24 September 1992,before the river flooded in 1993. North is at right. Bare soil,such as in ploughed fields,is red,with vegetat- ion green and water black. The record rainfall of summer 1993 caused the river to burst its banks and flood a large area of land. A flood of this size should occur only once every 100 or more years. The image was produced from data collected by the Thematic Mapper on the US Landsat 5 satell- ite. For the river in flood see image E160/124 | |
