At this time of year when my thoughts turn north to # Greenland + #fieldwork, I'm especially missing the #Snapplanet app now. It was so damn handy to be able to get the latest #Sentinel2 imagery on your phone.
Thanks for everything guys, I'm sorry but it was just too good for this world....🥲
Montpellier's coastline, Dec. 2023.
@jeremy and talking of clouds, I'm always trying to find Von Karman vortices and I think this must be the start of one just south of Jan Mayen island...
Following this morning's post by @Ruth_Mottram, I installed #SnapPlanet on my phone and started tinkering with it. I didn't delve any deeper than this yet but it's already been a really cool ride!
This is the Mediterranean in March 2024. The city of Marseille can be seen on the right of the photo, while the mouth of the Rhône carries all the sediment that causes this earthy flow in the water, and creates a clear E-W separation.
@Ruth_Mottram That is neat! I just spent half an hour browsing through the iOS app. I found this satellite image of my neighbourhood in infrared on 13 Feb. 2017, when a large fire was burning in the hills by the city.

Do you know about snapplanet.io? I've been playing around on it at the breakfast table, keeping an eye on the #Greenland #glaciers I have instruments on and it's just struck me again how mindblowing it is that I can download and process *on my phone* and for *FREE* a world's worth of high resolution satellite images from #ESA #Sentinel2. The future is amazing.
Here have a free image of Inglefield Bredning in NW Greenland yesterday.
