Question -- No doubt this is a striking image but we should know what kind of image it is. That is, how were these false colours determined? According to the surface speed of the water? -- Alvesgaspar (talk) 10:27, 1 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]
- Compare File:Mackenzie river enters Beaufort sea.jpg. There does seem to be something odd about the water. I see from this that the image sensor can detect all sorts of wavelengths, giving someone an opportunity to create a realistic or fantasy image. -- Colin (talk) 10:52, 1 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]
- Yes, that is most probably the case (I'm referring to the links provided by Colin)! This kind of images are created using multispectral sensors capable of detecting small variations in the water properties, for example, sediment content. Alvesgaspar (talk) 11:17, 1 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]
