This 39 by 47 km ASTER sub-scene was acquired on May 20, 2000 and shows an
area along the west side of the Cascade Range in west central Oregon.
Bands 4, 3, and 2 were combined as red, green, and blue. In this
composite, snow appears blue, forests are green, and clear-cut areas are
orange-pink. The magnitude of logging operations is quite obvious,
appearing as a checker board pattern. The image is centered at 44.6
degrees north latitude, 122.2 degrees west longitude.
The U.S. science team is located at NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory,
Pasadena, Calif. The Terra mission is part of NASA's Science Mission
Directorate.
