Figure 2. Datasets used to model the
temporal patterns of cholera outbreaks in Bangladesh.
a) Advanced
Very High Resolution Radiometer (AVHRR) satellite image showing the mouth of
the Ganges River and the Bay of Bengal. Vegetation is shown in shades of red
and water in shades of blue. The spatial resolution of these data is 1.1 km.
b) Sea surface temperature data, derived from AVHRR thermal bands. Temperatures
range from low (purple) to high (red).
c) Sea surface
height data, derived from TOPEX/Poseidon satellite data. The spatial
resolution of these data is 1 degree. d) Image derived from the Sea-viewing
Wide Field-of-view Sensor (SeaWiFS) showing chlorophyll concentration,
ranging from low (blue) to high (red). These satellite data have a nominal
spatial resolution of 1.1 km.
