Atmospheric rivers have resulted in a medley of colors in the region as seen from space.
The wettest three-week period the Bay Area has seen inhas brought a medley of colors to the region as seen from space. A series of atmospheric rivers have left behind white snow-capped mountains to teal water off the coast created by runoff from overflowing waterways. When the soil is saturated, water flows into nearby waterways often taking sediment with it.The natural-color images were taken by the Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer on NASA’s Aqua satellite.
Brown sediment flowed in San Pablo Bay fed by runoff from the Sacramento and San Joaquin rivers that run through Central Valley farmland.A dramatic shift in terrain can currently be seen across the entire state after California received rainfall totals of approximately 350 percent above average in the first half of January 2023. Mountain snowpack across the state is also currently approximately 248 percent of average compared to the year before.
