Landsat Thematic Mapper, 1.8.1990, false colour composite (:453)
The Y-lobe can just be identified on this Landsat Thematic Mapper satellite image.
- It can be seen more clearly when other combinations of bands are used.
- Its limitation is the relatively coarse spatial resolution - Its pixels are 30 x 30m.
Its advantages are:
- Monitoring potential: New images are recorded of the Dark Peak every 16 days.
- Cost: Aerial photos are more costly per square kilometre.
- Coverage: The full scene stretches from the Welsh borderlands to Hull.
