Hungarian mosaic

ESA Space in Images Title Hungary Released 06/03/2015 10:00 am Copyright Copernicus data/ESA (2014) Description - This image of Hungary, with the political border in white, is a mosaic of 11 scans by Sentinel-1A's radar from October to December 2014. The scans were recorded in 'dual polarisation' horizontal and vertical radar pulses, from which the artificial colour composite was generated. The majority of the landlocked country has an elevation lower than 300 m above sea level, but there are also a number of mountain ranges. The Great Hungarian Plain dominates the south and east of the country. Above it lies the North Hungarian Mountains region - the mountains appearing brownish in colour in this image, although they would appear green to the eye. To the west lie the Transdanubian Mountains, and the Transdanubian Hills south of these. Lake Balaton is seen in the west of the country.
