Mr roT said...

Why are those spots so black and why are those curves so parallel?

fuck me if i know: i'm a terrorist, not a geographer.

Mr roT said...

You're a Geop. Worse than a geographer. WTF is that shit, man?

The Darkroom said...

it is common knowledge that geop degrees are consolation prizes handed out to those of us too dumb to make it in a physics program.

now do you really want me to answer an interesting question about the natural world ?

Mr roT said...

I thought Geops were the smart Geols. You don't think an average Geol knows about dem rocks and sand?

i am guessing that it is an artifact of data interpolation.
Coverage over the sahara may not be very dense and if they fit, say a polynomial, they could get some spurious and cool looking images.
