Every year as the rainy season draws to a close, the Zambezi River pushes over its banks along its upper reaches in Zambia, but this year, the river is fuller than normal.

The above Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) images provide a contrast between the dry season, November 24, 2003, and the wet season, March 3, 2004. Only a thin dark line marks the location of the river during the dry season, while black puddles show the river’s extent during the wet season. In these false-color images, plants are green, bare land is tan, and clouds are white and light blue.
The high-resolution images provided above are at MODIS’ maximum resolution of 250 meters per pixel.
