Mount Fuji, Japan’s highest peak, has seen its first snowfall after one in every of many longest intervals with out snow since data began 130 years previously.
The Copernicus Sentinel-2 mission captured this image of Mount Fuji’s iconic snowcap on 7 November, a day after snow was first observed by the Japan Mereological Firm’s Shizuoka division.
Sentinel-2 carries a high-resolution multispectral imager to ship optical pictures from the seen to the shortwave-infrared space of the electromagnetic spectrum.
Data collected from Sentinel-2 are used for quite a lot of features, along with precision farming, water top quality monitoring and pure disaster administration.
Further pictures of Mount Fuji from home could be found proper right here.
