Blue Marble Bathymetry

Earth bathymetry by alteredqualia data from nasa blue marble elevation not to scale z.

Blue marble bathymetry.

Given that over 70 of the earth s surface is covered with water this branch of 3d analysis is extremely important in understanding the characteristics of the planet. The original blue marble was a composite of four months of modis observations with a spatial resolution level of detail of 1 square kilometer. The images show how the surface would look to a human in space if our world had no clouds and no atmosphere. The original blue marble was a composite of four months of modis observations with a spatial resolution level of detail.

With topography and bathymetry. Nasa s terra satellite collected these images. Next generation offers greater spatial detail of the surface and spans a longer data collection period than the original. Bathymetry is the study of topographic landforms below the water such as on the ocean floor the bottom of a lake or even the bed of a river.

There is one blue marble image for each month of the year 2004. The blue marble is an incredibly detailed true color depiction of the earth. Next generation images show earth in true color. Blue marble inflatable globe with topography bathymetry 36 49 00 no reviews yet.
