Summary:

The Natural Color RGB provides a false composite look at the surface. This RGB uses a shortwave, the near-infrared, and red channels from the instrument.The True Color RGB composite provides a product of how the surface would look to the naked eye from space.

The RGB is created using the red, green, and blue channels of the respective instrument.

Suggested Use:

For the Natural Color RGB, areas of water will appear blue, healthy green vegetation will appear as a bright green, urban areas in various shades of magenta, areas experiencing ashfall will be dark gray/black, smoke/ash from the volcano will be a darker gray than the surrounding clouds. The True Color RGB provides a product of how the surface would look to the naked eye from space.

The True Color RGB is produced using the 3 visible wavelength bands (red, green, and blue) from the respective sensor. Some minor atmospheric corrections have occurred.
