How to see how wet the Playa has been
This is based in part on Laura's page Black Rock Desert - MODIS Images - How wet was the Black Rock Desert this year? from 2011.
The basic idea is that we look for terra 7-2-1 MODIS data and display it
- Go to https://worldview.earthdata.nasa.gov/
- Pan and zoom until you have a nice view of the Black Rock Desert
- Click on the red "+ Add Layers" button
- In the search window, type "terra 7-2-1" and click on the red box at the right of "Corrected Reflectance (Bands 7-2-1)" to select it.
- Close the search window by clicking on the X.
- Now you can change the time scale to make a movie or a gif.
