San Julian Anticlinorium
Thematic Mapper band 4
This image is the fourth channel of the Thematic Mapper scanner mounted
on the Landsat 4 and 5 satellite. Its wavelength is in the reflected
infrared band of the electromagnetic spectrum and is just outside the
range of human vision. Its specific wavelength is 0.76µ to 0.90µ.
This spectral range is useful for determining biomass content and mapping
shorelines. 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.
