Date of Images:<\/SPAN><\/P> 5/5/2024<\/SPAN><\/P> Date of Next Image:<\/SPAN><\/P> Unknown<\/SPAN><\/P> Summary:<\/SPAN><\/P> The Color Infrared composite is created using the near-infrared, red, and green channels, allowing for the ability to see areas impacted by the event. The near-infrared gives the ability to see through thin clouds. Healthy vegetation is shown as red, water is in blue.<\/SPAN><\/P> The Short Wave Infrared (SWIR) RGB is a product that is created using the SWIR, NIR, and Red channels of the respective instrument.<\/SPAN><\/P> 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.<\/SPAN><\/P> Suggested Use:<\/SPAN><\/P> A Color Infrared composite depicts healthy vegetation as red, water as blue. Some minor atmospheric corrections have occurred.<\/SPAN><\/P> The Short Wave Infrared (SWIR) RGB is a product that can provides value in flood detection. Areas of water will appear blue, healthy green vegetation will appear as a bright green, urban areas in various shades of magenta, snow will appear as a bright blue/cyan, and bare soils being multicolor dependent on their makeup. Compare pre-event imagery to post-event imagery to identify potential flooding.<\/SPAN><\/P> The True Color RGB provides a product of how the surface would look to the naked eye from space and may show damage caused by severe weather. 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.<\/SPAN><\/P> Satellite/Sensor:<\/SPAN><\/P> MultiSpectral Instrument (MSI) on European Space Agency's (ESA) Copernicus Sentinel-2A/2B satellites<\/SPAN><\/P> Resolution:<\/SPAN><\/P> Color Infrared RGB: 10 meters<\/SPAN><\/P> Shortwave Infrared RGB: 20 meters<\/SPAN><\/P> True Color RGB: 10 meters<\/SPAN><\/P> Credits:<\/SPAN><\/P> NASA/MSFC, USGS, ESA Copernicus<\/SPAN><\/P>
