BD_Flood_small.jpg(540 × 460 pixels, file size: 95 KB, MIME type: image/jpeg)

Description For the first two weeks of July 2002, floods had ravaged eastern India and northern Bangladesh, killing over 50 people and displacing hundreds of thousands from their homes. This false-color image acquired on July 16, 2002, by the Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) aboard NASA's Terra spacecraft shows some of the worst flooding. The dark brown swollen river at the top of the image is the Brahmaputra River, which flows through the middle of the Indian state of Assam. Normally, the river and its tributaries would resemble a tangle of thin lines. Cloud cover obstructs additonal flooding in northern Bangladesh. In this false-color image, land is tan, and clouds are pink and white. Water comes across as black or dark brown.
