Landsat 7 satellite mosaic

One goal of the Remote Sensing Project is to generate a Landsat 7 mosaic covering the coal fire areas in the province of Ningxia and adjacent regions as well as most parts of the province of Xinjiang. This satellite mosaic provides a general overview of two studied Chinese provinces affected by coal fires.

The false colour infrared mosaic is generated from Landsat 7 data downlinked during two acquisition campaigns with the DLR mobile receiving station at Ulan Bator (Mongolia). Some additional data sets are acquired from the EDC data archives. It is envisaged to cover an area of about 800.000 km�. For the targeted test areas the satellite map will be generated at a scale of 1:100.000 and will be will include topographic contour lines.
