Alai Valley CORONA photography and DEM
This flight is over the Alai Valley in southernmost Kyrgyzstan in the area
between the Tien Shan and the Pamir. We have much ongoing research in this
area. The movie is of CORONA photography (carefully rectified by Stephen
Holloway) draped on GTOPO30 1 km DEM. The flight starts in the westernmost
Alai Valley in Tadjikistan and flies along the valley to the east, allowing
us to examine the Trans Alai rangefront (where we have conducted much research
in the last few years). The flight turns and comes back along the Kyzilsu
River in the northern portion of the Alai Valley.
