Mangrove forest on Nigeria's Bakassi peninsula, seen from space
Summary edit
| Description |
Afrikaans: Hierdie beeld, verkry deur die Duitse radarsatelliet TerraSAR-X, toon die manglietbedekte eilande van die Bakassi-skiereiland, wat aan die verre oostelike punt van die Golf van Guinee geleë is. Weens die uitstaande akkuraatheid van sy kalibrasie, is TerraSAR-X in staat om baie klein veranderinge in die teruggekeerde sein op te spoor wat veroorsaak word deur veranderinge in plantegroei of ontbossing. Deur bedreigde manglietbosse regoor die wêreld te moniteer, kan TerraSAR-X biodiversiteitsbewaring ondersteun. Die beeld is op 2 Junie 2008 verkry, en is in strookkaartmodus met 'n resolusie van 3,3 meter afgeneem.
English: The image, taken by the German radar satellite TerraSAR-X, shows the mangrove-covered islands of the Bakassi peninsula, which are situated at the extreme eastern end of the Gulf of Guinea. Due to the outstanding accuracy of its calibration, TerraSAR-X is able to detect very small changes in the returned signal caused by changes in vegetation or deforestation. By monitoring endangered mangrove forests all over the world, TerraSAR-X can support biodiversity preservation activities. The image was taken on 2 June 2008. It was acquired in stripmap mode with a resolution of 3.3 metres. Compare with a similiar photo in visible range.
