Landsat - News Beep

Landsat view showing river temperature data along the Columbia River near the Coulee Dam. The black-and-white image displays a river flowing through a landscape of agricultural fields and mountainous terrain. A temperature scale runs from white to dark red, indicating water temperatures ranging from 58.1°F to 61.3°F. The river channel is highlighted with colors corresponding to these temperatures, showing cooler temperatures (white/pink) downstream and warmer temperatures (red) in sections upstream of the Coulee Dam. An arrow indicates the flow direction from east to west.
