Summary
editDescriptionPermian Flaring 2012-2016.jpg |
English: The night time view of the earth was made possible by the "day-night band" of the Visible Infrared Imaging Radiometer Suite. VIIRS detects light in a range of wavelengths from green to near-infrared and uses filtering techniques to observe dim signals such as gas flares, auroras, wildfires, city lights, and reflected moonlight. In this case, auroras, fires, and other stray light have been removed.
The 2012 and 2016 data is processed so that researchers can compare and contrast light sources over the years. (Description based on information provided by NASA Eath Observatory) |
