Image Caption:
STS042-81-003 (CVIS) Indus River Delta (24.0! N, 68.0! E)
This oblique view of coastal water turbidity adjacent to
the Indus River Delta and surrounding wetlands was photographed
on 24 January at 04:39 GMT using a Hasselblad camera equipped
with natural color transparency film and a 250 mm lens. Light
scatter from a high concentration of aerosols coupled with the
long line of sight through the atmosphere obscures the subtle
changes in water color. Were the view near vertical, water color
changes associated with variations in suspended sediment type and
concentration would be more evident.
