5-minute PACUS Sector GOES-18 (GOES-West) Shortwave Infrared (3.9 µm) images (above) showed the thermal anomaly (heat signature) following the onset of an eruption of Kilauea on the Big Island of Hawai`i — which began around 1030 UTC on 03 June 2024. The peak 3.9 µm brightness temperature sensed at the eruption site was... Read More
