Figure 1 is a comparison of images around Yogyakarta taken by the Phased Array type L-band Synthetic Aperture Ra"Daichi" (ALOS; Advanced Land Observing Satellite) observed one of the Tsunami-damaged areas near PANDANGARAN, the South of Java, Indonesia by AVNIR-2 (Advanced Visible and Near Infrared Radiometer type 2) (spatial resolution 10 m) on July 21.
Comparing this AVNIR-2 image with a pre-disaster image taken by PRISM (Panchromatic Remote-sensing Instrument for Stereo Mapping) (spatial resolution 2.5 m) on July 4, some changes can be identified as seen in Figs. a, b and c.
JAXA has provided these images to BAKORNAS PBP in cooperation with Asia Disaster Reduction Center (ADRC).
