Multi-angle Imaging SpectroRadiometer (MISR) images of Florida acquired on
April 9, 2000 during Terra orbit 1650. The image at the top is a color view
acquired by the vertical (nadir) camera. It has been reoriented so that
the flight path is from left to right, to facilitate comparison with
the lower image, a stereo "anaglyph" generated using 275-m resolution
red band data from the cameras viewing 45.6 degrees and 70.5 degrees aft
of nadir. The anaglyph provides a three-dimensional effect when viewed
using red/blue glasses with the red filter placed over the left eye.
This stereoscopic "depth perception" and the variation in brightness
as a function of view angle enables scientists to assess the climate impact
of different types of cloud fields. The plume from a large brush fire
that burned about 15,000 acres is visible at the western edge of
the Big Cypress Swamp in southern Florida.
