Chesapeake Bay Watershed Region (short version)
|
|
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 contains just the last part of the Chesapeake Bay Flyover and Watershed Region (#3472) animation and demonstrates the entire Watershed without the Chesapeake Bay flyover. This animation highlights and labels each subwatershed in turn.

| Instrument: | Landsat-7/ETM+ |
| Data Collected: | The mosaic was created by EarthSat under contract with NASA as part of the GeoCover 2000 product. All images used in GeoCover were acquired by Landsat 7 during the period of 1999-2002. The pixel size of the full resolution image represents 14.25 m on the ground. 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)
