Summary
[edit]DescriptionMusa Bay, Iran.jpg |
English: This image, acquired by one of the Copernicus Sentinel-2 satellites on 13 November, shows the Musa Bay in Iran. Musa bay is a shallow estuary with a long history as a shipping hub: in the classical age, Greek navigators used the area for trade with the peoples of Mesopotamia and today it hosts Bandar-e Emam Khomeyni (BEK), one of the most important port areas of Iran. The waters of the bay are pristine, with the exception of the BEK area where many crude oil refining facilities produce a wide variety of petroleum-based products and production waste causes pollution of the waters. The Copernicus Sentinel-2 is a high-resolution mission composed two identical satellites designed to provide optical imaging with a revisit frequency of 5 days. These satellites benefit Copernicus services and applications such as water quality monitoring or emergency management. |
