Summary edit

Description
English: After exceptional snowfalls affected central and northern Spain — especially the Madrid region — moderate rains caused the fallen snow to rapidly melt which resulted in increased river flows. Finally, on 28 January, a heatwave hit the eastern part of Spain, with record temperatures for a month of January, over 29°C, being measured. For example, in Alicante 29.2°C were recorded. This image, acquired by one of the Copernicus Sentinel-3 satellites on 28 January, shows swirls along the east coast of Spain coloured by suspended matter originating from increased river runoff, a phenomenon referred to as water turbidity by scientists. The Copernicus Sentinel-3 mission is composed of two twin satellites, Sentinel-3A and Sentinel-3B, which allow us to monitor water quality and sediment transport in coastal areas.
