This animation shows two images of northern France acquired by two different instruments on the Envisat satellite: MERIS and the Advanced Along-Track Scanning Radiometer.
The first image, acquired on 20 February 2012, shows Paris in the center. The river flowing through the city and into the English Channel is the Seine. East of Paris, vineyards and fields of the famous Champagne-Ardenne region appear lighter in color. The second radiometer image, acquired on 23 May 2011, shows heat, with yellows and reds depicting higher temperatures compared to the cooler blue areas. In this image, urban areas south of Paris – such as Orléans – stand out.
