The
Observation Using MODIS True Color 250m Resolution Imagery
The MODIS true color image is the JPEG downloaded from MODIS
Rapid Response Website without any processing. You might find some stripping
effect on the image itself.
Figure 1. MODIS 250m true color on 14 December 2004
Figure 2. Baram River Mouth. Color enhanced image. Highly
turbid water (brownish) can be seen in the image. The river plume extended to
the west where the clear ocean water (blue) and the turbid water (milky
greenish) can be clearly distinguished.
Darkish colored water appear
at the east of the River Plume!! Not sure what is it? Is there another small
river mouth?
Figure 3. Brunei Bay. The plume of the turbid water from
the west and southern of the bay can be clearly distinguish from the blue
oceanic water. There was a report of red tide near Muara at this moment,
however it is difficult to be seen from the image above.
