For PAO--Recommend you rotate this image 90 degrees right. Caption written to rotated image.
Galveston Bay, a shallow, sediment-laden inlet of the Gulf of Mexico, can be seen in this northwest-looking view. Sediments remain suspended in the bay because it is so shallow, with an average depth of 12 feet (4 meters). The city of Galveston and the entrance to Galveston Bay from the Gulf of Mexico can be seen at the bottom center of the image. The highly reflective area to the north of the city of Galveston are oil refineries in Texas City. Other light-colored areas (oil refineries) can be seen near the center of the image extending northwestward along the Houston Ship Channel. The city of Houston and its suburbs, some areas under scattered clouds, are visible in the upper left portion of the image. Lake Houston, where the metropolitan area of Houston receives most of its drinking water, is discernible in the upper right portion of the image.
