Southeastern United States


It is a rare day when the entire coastline of the southeastern United States is cloud free at the same moment. January 9, 2009 was nearly such a day, and, from the perspective of the MODIS instrument on the Aqua satellite, the ocean also happened to be sunglint free at the same time. This is usually a winning combination from the perspective of a remote-sensing, ocean-color scientist. Click on the above image to see the coastal waters from Ocean City, Maryland to New Orleans, Louisiana. A still higher resolution 35 megabyte version is also available.
