Lake Turkana imagery
A daily posting of the MODIS satellite imagery covering the Turkana Basin is available from the NASA website here ( http://lance-modis.eosdis.nasa.gov/imagery/subsets/?project=fas&subset=NAfrica_3_07)
The true-color Terra image at 250 m resolution is a 6.9 Mb file, but very useful. Jon Lacarrubba wrote an Automator workflow that crops this to our area of interest and is adaptable (available on request).
