As seen in other examples posted on this blog, the Suomi NPP VIIRS 0.7 \u00c2\u00b5m Day\/Night Band (DNB) is useful for detecting city lights at night. A comparison of “pre-Sandy” (a cloud-free night way back on 31 August 2012)<\/em> and “post-Sandy” (01 November 2012)<\/em> DNB images displayed using McIDAS-V (above)<\/strong><\/em> showed some of the areas that remained without power in the wake of the landfall of Hurricane Sandy on 29 October 2012<\/strong><\/a> — two areas that stand out are western parts of Long Island, New York and central New Jersey. You can also interactively fade between the before\/after DNB images using this Java applet.<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n

A comparison of AWIPS images of the 01 November DNB data with the corresponding 10.8-3.74 \u00c2\u00b5m\u00c2\u00a0 “fog\/stratus product” (below)<\/strong><\/em> showed that those two areas of interest — western Long Island, and central New Jersey — were not obscured by any significant low fog\/stratus\u00c2\u00a0 features (yellow to red color enhancement)<\/em> or any dense high cirrus clouds (black color enhancement)<\/em>.<\/p>\n
