Summary

| Description |
English: Clouds of brown and green sediment swirl through the North Sea in this true-color Aqua MODIS image acquired on December 18, 2004. The sediments are most concentrated in river outlets, most notably the Thames and the Mouth of the Humber on England’s southeastern coast. Within the larger body of the North Sea, the sediment is likely being pulled up from the sea floor, which lies no more than 50 meters below the surface. Large storms often stir up such sediment.
Continental Europe dominates the lower right corner of the image. From lower left to upper right, the countries are France, Belgium, Luxembourg, the Netherlands, Germany, and Denmark. The sole fire in the image is marked in bright red, and burns northwest of Essen, Germany.
Français : Des nuages de sédiments bruns et verts tourbillonnent à travers la Mer du Nord sur cette image en couleurs réelles Aqua Modis du 18 décembre 2004. Les sédiments sont concentrés principalement sur les embouchures des rivières, notamment sur les bouches de la Tamise et de la Humber sur la côte sud-orientale de l'Angleterre. Dans la Mer du Nord, les sédiments vont vraisemblablement être emportés du sol marin, qui n'est qu'à 50 mètres sous la surface. Les grandes tempêtes détachent souvent de tels sédiments.
L'Europe continentale domine le coin inférieur droit de l'image. Du coin inférieur gauche au coin supérieur droit, on trouve les pays suivants : France, Belgique, Luxembourg, Pays-Bas, Allemagne et Danemark. Le point rouge vif sur l'image signale un feu isolé au nord-ouest d'Essen en Allemagne. |
