MERIS reduced resolution image acquired on 28th of January 2004 during Envisat's ten thousandth orbit. Central Mexico and part of Texas, the Pacific Ocean and the Gulf of Mexico are displayed in this Medium Resolution Imaging Spectrometer (MERIS) image.
The town of Corpus Christi can just be perceived on the coast of the Gulf, just east of heavy cloud cover which masks the land from the Gulf to the western Sierra Madre mountains. Farther to the north, the urban areas of Houston and the port town of Galveston can be seen.
