Landsat Imagery (8, 9) for Hurricane Helene September 2024

Dates of Images: Post-Event: October 12, October 10, October 7, October 5, October 2, September 27 Pre-Event: September 20, September 22 Date of Next Image: Unknown Summary: 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. The Short Wave Infrared (SWIR) RGB is a product that is created using the SWIR, NIR, and Red channels of the respective instrument. The Color Infrared composite is created using the near-infrared, red, and green channels. The near-infrared gives the ability to see through thin clouds. Healthy vegetation is shown as red, water is in blue. Suggested Use: The True Color RGB provides a product of how the surface would look to the naked eye from space. 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. 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. A Color Infrared composite depicts healthy vegetation as red, water as blue. Some minor atmospheric corrections have occurred.

Dates of Images: Post-Event: October 12, 2024; October 11, 2024 Pre-Event: October 2, 2024; August 24, 2024 Date of Next Image: Unknown Summary: Natural Color: The Natural Color RGB provides a false composite look at the surface. This RGB uses a shortwave, the near-infrared, and red channels from the instrument. Color Infrared: The Color Infrared composite is created using the near-infrared, red, and green channels, allowing for the ability to see areas impacted from the fires. The near-infrared gives the ability to see through thin clouds. Healthy vegetation is shown as red, water is in blue. True Color: 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. Suggested Use: Natural Color: areas of water will appear blue, healthy green vegetation will appear as a bright green, urban areas in various shades of magenta. Color Infrared: depicts healthy vegetation as red, water as blue. Some minor atmospheric corrections have occurred. True Color: provides a product of how the surface would look to the naked eye from space. 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.
