This Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) image from the Terra satellite on February 9, 2003, shows sun glinting off the river systems in eastern Brazil. Spotty clouds hang over the coastal regions, and scattered fires detected by MODIS have been marked in red. At bottom center, a brownish-gray patch amid the green vegetation marks the location of Sao Paulo. To the northeast along the coast, a similar patch is the city of Rio de Janeiro.
