Summary

[edit]
Description
English: The Visible Infrared Imaging Radiometer Suite (VIIRS) on the Suomi NPP satellite acquired this natural-color image of Typhoon Bopha, at Peak Intensity, as a intense category 5 super typhoon, nearing landfall on December 3, 2012 at 17:12(UTC). This image was captured using the VIIRS “day-night band,” which detects light in a range of wavelengths from green to near-infrared and uses filtering techniques to observe signals such as gas flares, auroras, wildfires, city lights, and reflected moonlight.
