THE BAY AREA FROM SPACE
SAN FRANCISCO AND SURROUNDING AREAS AS SEEN BY LANDSAT 4
Large period color photograph, 25 x 25 inches. Captions along the upper and lower border reads: "NASA Landsat 4 Thematic Mapper, SAN FRANCISCO BAY AREA, Imaged on December 31, 1982. Expanded to 1:100,000 Scale. Scene ID E-40168-18143. WRS path 44, WRS row 34. Processed by the IBM Palo Alto Scientific Center, Bands 2,4,5."
This image covers the entire city of San Francisco and all of the bay area south and east of the city. Surrounding areas to the south include Daly City, Brisbane, San Mateo, Redwood City, Menlo Park, Palo Alto, Stanford, Sunnyvale, and San Jose. Across the bay are the cities of Oakland, Alameda, San Leandro, Hayward, Union City, and Fremont.
The Golden Gate, San Francisco-Oakland, San Mateo, and Dumbarton Bridges are clearly visible as well as Alcatraz and Treasure Islands.
Thematic Mapper spectral bands 2 (visible), 4 and 5 (both infrared) were used to complete this color images. Bands 4 and 5 make all live vegetation appear yellow to red in color, with urban areas appearing mostly pink to purple. Both the bay waters and Pacific Ocean area appear near-black due to limited water reflectance in these spectral bands. There is a white cloud/fog area in the upper right-hand corner.
