Blue Marble Bathymetry

The original blue marble was a composite of four months of modis observations with a spatial resolution level of detail.

Blue marble bathymetry.

The images show how the surface would look to a human in space if our world had no clouds and no atmosphere. The blue marble next generation is an update on the original that has greater detail. The original blue marble was a composite of four months of modis observations with a spatial resolution level of detail of 1 square kilometer. Nasa s terra satellite collected these images.

With topography and bathymetry. The blue marble is an incredibly detailed true color depiction of the earth. Next generation images show earth in true color. There is one blue marble image for each month of the year 2004.

Next generation offers greater spatial detail of the surface and spans a longer data collection period than the original. Earth bathymetry by alteredqualia data from nasa blue marble elevation not to scale z. This stunning depiction of the world utilizes satellite imagery collected by nasa and bathymetric data compiled by the noaa national oceanic atmospheric administration. Given that over 70 of the earth s surface is covered with water this branch of 3d analysis is extremely important in understanding the characteristics of the planet.
