  3. New Orleans, Aug. 31, 2005 . ENVISAT ASAR image The circular area of the New Orleans Superdome, is barely visible to the northwest of the double span of the Greater New Orleans Bridge, across the Mississippi from the Algiers Point Revetment at the first bend of the river at the right edge of the image. Water was waist-high in the area when this image was acquired. The area west of City Park, the dark area at centre image just east of the I-10 Bridge bordering on the Orleans Outfall Canal, also appears to be heavily flooded. Both airports were also under water.  • Envisat Advanced Synthetic Aperture Radar (ASAR) radar image. • New Orleans, Aug. 31, 2005. • Image Mode Precision (30 meter resolution)
