Chesapeake Bay Flyover and Watershed Region
|
|
The watershed that drains into the Chesapeake Bay is a huge expanse that extends 64,000 miles into five states across North America (New York, Pensylvania, Maryland, Delaware, Virginia) and the District of Columbia. This visualization overlays the full watershed onto a Landsat satellite visualization of the Bay area. The eight different distinctly colored regions indicate the Chesapeake's major subwatersheds. These subwatershed regions are: Susquehanna, Potomac, Patuxent, MD West Shore, Rapahhannock, Eastern Shore, James and York. This visualization is an extension of the Chesapeake Bay Flyover (#3446) in order to demonstrate the entire Chesapeake Bay Watershed region. The imagery utilized for this animation is a false-color Chesapeake Bay Landsat-7 Mosaic (#3473) composed of eight scenes acquired between 1999-2002, which were put together and color corrected to resemble natural looking colors.

The Chesapeake Bay mosaic uses portions of eight Landsat-7 scenes. Below you will find a listing of the eight Landsat 7 images that were put together to create the composite image. Landsat scenes are organized by a Path and Row number according to the Worldwide Reference System. (To learn more about Landsat's Worldwide Reference System, please visit: http://landsat.gsfc.nasa.gov/about/wrs.html)
