Summary

Description
English: The image above is the first True Color rendering of data from NOAA-20’s Visible Infrared Imaging Radiometer Suite (VIIRS) instrument, which showed the Thomas wildfire on Dec. 13, 2017, one of the largest in California’s history. It was taken as part of the satellite’s on-orbit checkout process. VIIRS scans the entire planet twice per day at a 750-meter resolution; multiple visible and infrared channels allow it to detect atmospheric aerosols such as dust, smoke, and haze.
