[STORMREPORTS] Floods in Western Turkey - Satellite Shot

From: Jesse Ferrell (WeatherMatrix) (jesse{at}weathermatrix.net)
Date: Thu Feb 12 2004 - 21:03:37 EST

"The swollen rivers of Western Turkey wander like dark blue ribbons across
the brilliant green landscape of these true- and false-color MODIS images.
Starting on January 22, 2004, a rare winter storm blanketed Western Turkey
with snow. The equivalent of a month's precipitation fell around Istanbul
in just 24 hours. By February 7, when the Aqua satellite acquired this
image, most of the snow had melted, filling the rivers that flow into the
Aegean Sea. The Meric (Evros) River in the top left corner, and the
Menderes River in the bottom third of the image seem particularly full.
Only patches of snow, which appear light blue in this image, remain in the
higher elevations. The true-color image is visible by default. To see the
false-color version, roll your mouse over the image."
