Image Caption: STS41-89-102 & 104 Northeastern Coastal Brazil These two near-
vertical CIR photos are representative of high quality, cloud-free
pictures (sixteen frames) of a region that extends approximately 400
kilometers along the northeast coast of Brazil--from Primeira Cruz to
Acarau. Toward the extreme right side of the photograph part of the
Rio Parnaiba Basin can be observed. High color contrasts mark
different vegetation zones, including the encroaching sand dunes and
the clearly delimited mangrove swamp area (appearing as dark crimson
on the CIR film, but in reality green vegetation). The prevailing wind
direction is evident as are the agriculture field patterns; the large
inland areas where very little vegetation is growing, and the
development of coastal island/sand bars.
