These band composites, acquired on June 4, 2000, cover a 11 by 13.5 km
sub-scene in the Coachella Valley, CA. The area is shown by the yellow box
on the full scene in the LOWER RIGHT corner, northwest of the Salton Sea.
This is a major agricultural region of California, growing fruit and
produce throughout the year. Different combinations of ASTER bands help
identify the different crop types. UPPER LEFT: bands 3, 2, 1 as red,
green, and blue (RGB); UPPER RIGHT: bands 4, 2, 1 as RGB; LOWER LEFT:
bands 4, 3, 2 as RGB. The image is centered at 33.6 degrees north
latitude, 116.1 degrees west longitude.
