Africa and Atlantic Ocean, with clouds C016 / 3727
Africa and Atlantic Ocean, with clouds. Computer graphic of an Earth globe centred on West Africa, generated using satellite and mapping data. This view shows satellite images of the land in natural colours, and includes cloud cover. Digital terrain and bathymetric data are used for the land and seabed contours. The depth of the sea floor is colour-coded from light blue (shallow) to dark blue (deep). Features include the continental shelves and mid-ocean ridges. Northern Africa is dominated by the vast desert of the Sahara, with forests and savannah (green) covering the tropical regions, and more deserts in the south. The southern Atlantic is at lower left
