On Setting and Achieving High Goals |

The
MISR image above is a composite of red band data taken by the MISR forward
45.6-degree, nadir, and aftward 45.6-degree cameras, displayed in blue, green,
and
red colors, respectively. Color variations in the left image highlight spectral
(true-color) differences, whereas those in the right image highlight differences
in angular reflectance properties. The purple areas in the right image
are low cloud, and light blue at the edge of the bay is due to increased forward
scattering by the fast (smooth) ice. The orange areas are rougher ice, which
scatters more light in the backward direction. This example illustrates
how multi-angle viewing can distinguish physical structures and textures.
The image is about 400 km (250
miles) wide with a spatial resolution of about 275 meters (300 yards). North is
toward the top. (Image by MISR Science Team/JPL) |
