DNB imagery is assigned to red and green channels and brightness temperatures to blue shades, allowing a combined display of nighttime lights, fires, reflected moonlight and occasional lightning in shades of yellow (new moon) to white (full moon) along with blue tinting of cloud imagery. This color combination is based upon usage developed by the Naval Research Lab and shared with partners in NOAA\u2019s National Weather Service. <\/SPAN><\/P><P><SPAN /><\/P><P><SPAN STYLE=\"font-weight:bold;\">Suggested Use: <\/SPAN><\/P><P><SPAN>In this image, city lights appear in bright shades of yellow to white when not obscured by clouds (shades of blue to white).
