Good MODIS satellite picture of MN today. Very clear shot of MN - the northern half at least!

Nipigon is iced-in but Superior is mostly ice-free in 2015 ( I changed the date to April 2018-- a lot more ice shows up now :)

A secrete to that site? I get "ERROR: input parameter: overlay_coastline is too long"

...and you wind up here.

Sentinel also had a nice clear flyover on Sunday. Here is a view of Agnes, Kawnipi, and Cache Bay in Quetico.

That is really cool. Unless I knew what I was looking at, I would never guess its an aerial shot of the wilderness.

Is there one from last summer that shows the same area all greened up? I'd like to add it to my computer background slide show? I tinkered with MODIS but could not get it to zoom like you did.

Ice-covered lakes all the way down into northern Iowa....

Sentinel has an average revisit time of five days, so there are plenty of images for the whole year, although many are limited by cloud cover. MODIS has a resolution of 250 meters compared to Sentinel at 10 meters, so no amount of zooming is going to get as detailed an image.

Here is one from May 7, 2017.


And one from October 14, 2017.

That's a great shot. Is there a link for that satellite feed? I remember accessing something like that a few seasons back.

I access it through this link: Copernicus open access hub

You have to sign up for an account and the files are each about 1 GB.

It still looks like a lot of ice up there from today's satellite pic. Some water is opening up but other large bodies of water look fairly socked in still. Zooming in to 250m gives a better up-close view despite the cloud cover.

That would make a really cool print for the wall. Can I have one about 3' by 4'??? It would look great on my gray walls.

Do you think it would work to take that image and blow it up, or would it get too grainy for a 3' by 4' print?

I want to put it on the wall in my 4 season porch. I'm a big fan of Sag, and the lakes beyond, and can see it in the lower right corner.

Maybe, I’ll export one at the maximum resolution and see how it looks.

Can you post it here, or email it to me? I would like to take it to a professional, and have them make me a 3' by 4' print. I'll have to measure the print I have on the wall now, to see exact, but it's in that ballpark.
