An ASAR image showing burnt scar locations

This a multitemporal picture created by combining two wide swath ASAR images taken 28 September and 7 December 2002. Rainy conditions during the latter acquistion have been shown to impede burnt scar detection, but nevertheless burnt scars are visible in yellow to bright orange; their location cross-checked against a Landsat image. Dark orange colours next to rivers indicate changes in water level between the two acquisitions, and related visibility of swamp vegetation.
