A mosaic of Ocean Color Monitor (OCM) sensor images from the Oceansat-1. The Oceansat-1 is part of the Indian Remote Sensing Satellite program primarily built for ocean applications and launched by ISRO’s PSLV on May 26, 1999. The OCM is an eight channel sensor operating in the visible and NIR regions of the electromagnetic spectrum, with a push broom technology for achieving higher radiometric performance. The spatial resolution is 360 meters with a swath of 1420 km and a temporal repetivity of two days. The image covers the Indian subcontinent with the Himalayan ranges in the north and Pakistan, Tibet, Nepal, Bangladesh, and Sri Lanka. The great diversity of physical features over the Indian sub continent is seen in the image. This is a digital mosaic of scenes acquired during summer 2000 with vegetation seen in the river basins of Ganga, the Western Ghats, and North East region. In the west, the Sind basin cuts across the deserts and joins the Gulf of Kutch. Kindly supplied by National Remote Sensing Agency, Hyderabad.
