Winter Rains Transform Moroccan Landscape, NASA Satellite Images Show

While the February 14 image showed soils with ochre and brown hues, signs of drought due to low winter rainfall, the March 26 image reveals a generalization of green. This color shows a rehydration of the land and a resurgence of plant activity. The phenomenon is particularly pronounced on the plateaus and in the agricultural plains, where the plant cover has become denser.

These observations come from the high-resolution optical sensors on board NASA satellites dedicated to Earth observation and climate monitoring. The analysis of spectral reflectance - the way the soil and plants reflect light - makes it possible to assess the evolution of biomass and soil moisture levels.
