	Floods In Bangladesh and India - Image courtesy Jacques Descloitres, For the past two weeks floods have ravaged eastern India and northern Bangladesh, killing over 50 people and displacing hundreds of thousands from their homes. This false-color image acquired on July 16, 2002, by the Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) aboard NASA's Terra spacecraft shows some of the worst flooding. The dark brown swollen river at the top of the image is the Brahmaputra River, which flows through the middle of the Indian state of Assam... Keywords: Where -- Bangladesh
	Smoke and smog in South Central Asia - Jeff Schmaltz, MODIS Rapid Response Team, NASA/GSFC This true-color Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) image from December 23, 2002, shows a mixture of haze (grayish pall) and clouds (white) over India left) and Bangladesh (right). Across the Himalaya Mountains the skies over the Tibetan Plateau are clear. Sensor: Terra/MODIS. Data Start Date: 12/23/02. Data End Date: 12/23/02. Keywords: Where -- Bangladesh

	Floods in Bangladesh - Jacques Descloitres, MODIS Land Rapid Response Team, NASA/GSFC This true-color Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) image from October 5, 2002, show that India and Bangladesh are still experiencing water-logged lowlands. The country of Bangladesh is roughly centered in the image, and in the easternmost parts of the country, the Syhlet region, lakes and standing water can be seen where there are normally only rivers. In the false-color image, the flooding is more prominent, with water appearing brilliant blue amid green vegetation... Keywords: Where -- Bangladesh
