A perfect cloud frame for the South Island. Way too much algae blooming from the Nitrogen runoff in Canterbury. 😬 (MODIS Terra 29-May-2022)
@arin_basu Yeah, unfortunately that usually means algae blooms and fish kills 😢
@jduckles
True.
Things are by now really getting bad. A Marlborough farm had to close down salmon farming because of warming water in Pelorous Sound. Then the nitrogen issue in Canterbury plains.
Your satellite picture is excellent!
@arin_basu Thank this old girl... https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Terra_%28satellite%29 She's been quietly taking open source daily images of the whole earth for 20 years now 😍. Her and her sister 🛰 Aqua are quite the team in Earth Observation. Operating WAY outside their expected mission length too.
@jduckles
Fascinating! Eye in the space!
@jduckles
.. And we had our share of rain as well.
