Thar Desert (ASTER), This ASTER sub-scene covers an area of 12 x 15 km in NW India in the Thar Desert. The sand dunes of the Thar Desert constantly shift and take on new shapes. Located in northwestern India and eastern Pakistan, the desert is bounded on the south by a salt marsh known as the Rann of Kutch, and on the west by the Indus River plain. About 800 kilometers long and about 490 kilometers wide, the desert's terrain is mainly rolling sandhills with scattered growths of shrub and rock outcroppings. Only about 12 to 25 centimeters of rain fall on the desert each year, and temperatures rise as high as 52 degrees Celsius. Much of the population is pastoral, raising sheep for their wool. The image is located at 24.4 degrees north latitude and 69.3 degrees east longitude.

タール砂漠(ASTER)、このASTERサブシーンは、Thar砂漠のNWインドで12 x 15 kmの面積をカバーしています。タール砂漠の砂丘は常に変化し、新しい形をとる。インド北西部とパキスタン東部に位置し、砂漠は南にラン・オブ・カッチとして知られる塩の沼地、西にインダス川平原に囲まれている。砂漠は約800キロメートル、幅約490キロメートルで、主に低木と岩の露頭が散在する転がり込んだ砂丘である。毎年、砂漠に降る雨は12～25cm程度で、気温は52°Cにも達する。人口の多くは牧歌的で、羊毛のために羊を育てている。北緯24.4度、東経69.3度の位置にある。
