This ASAR WSM image is the first transmitted via the satellite ARTEMIS.
The variation in grey tone within the Usangu wetlands indicates a spatial variability in soil moisture. As can be seen over the lakes, water is like a mirror for signal radar, reflecting specularly away from the antenna the energy backscattered. As a result, wet areas generate dark grey tones within the image.

This ASAR APP image shows an area covering the country of Guinea
The brown yellow colour that dominates the image results from the sparse vegetation (savannah) that covers the area (medium-low HV and HH backscattering, but HV backscattering higher than HH). The capital, Conakry is seen in cyan tones as it is densely populated (dominant HH backscattering). From the city of Conakry to northeast is seen a bright fringe in yellow colour due to the increasing of vegetation and human settlements (high HH and HV backscattering). Coastal plains of Guinea are plenty of swamps, seen in blue tones in the image corresponding to wet areas (low HH and HV backscattering and HV lower than HH)
The image is a colour composite where:
Red: HV polarised image
Green: HH polarised image
Blue: Ratio between the amplitude in HH and HV.

This MERIS FR image shows two huge sand dune seas in the Fezzan region of southwestern Libya.
A persistent high-pressure zone centred over Libya keeps the heart of the Sahara completely arid for years at a time, but research has discovered evidence of 'paleolakes' in this region associated with a wetter and more fertile past.
Libya today has no permanent rivers or water bodies, but has various vast fossil aquifers. These natural underground basins hold enormous amounts of fresh water.

The green colour of the sea around the islands of the Buagos Archipelago is caused by sediment being swept out to sea from the river
ASAR Training Course, Hanoi , 25 February – 7 March 2008
One of the first images acquired by Envisat, this MERIS image shows the complex river system inside Casamance with its heavy discharge into the sea. A series of such images are needed to monitor the transport of sediment which arises from inland soil erosion. This scene covers the transition zone between savannah in the north and tropical vegetation in the south. MERIS can also monitor the intensification of land use which leads to increased erosion and soil loss.
