San Julian Anticlinorium
Thematic Mapper band 3
This image is the third channel of the Thematic Mapper scanner mounted
on the Landsat 4 and 5 satellite. Its spectral range corresponds
approximately to what humans view as red. Its specific range on the
electromagnetic spectrum is 0.63µ to 0.69µ. This spectral range
corresponds to a chlorophyll absorption band making this channel useful
for discriminating vegetation types. This image has been contrast enhanced
using a gaussian stretch with a sigma value of 2.5 and a light high pass
filter applied to bring out detail. The raw
un-enhanced version of this file
is available.
