GOES-14 3.9 \u00c2\u00b5m shortwave IR images (click image to play animation)<\/p><\/div>\n

The GOES-14 satellite was placed into Super Rapid Scan Operations for GOES–R (SRSO-R)<\/strong><\/a> mode on 13 August 2013<\/strong><\/a>, providing images at 1-minute intervals over the western US. The prime features of interest were wildfires burning in southern Idaho and northern California. McIDAS images of GOES-14 3.9 \u00c2\u00b5m shortwave IR data (above; click image to play animation)<\/strong><\/em> showed that some clouds and thunderstorms (black to cyan color enhancement)<\/em> were moving over Idaho during the pre-dawn hours, but a few flickers of fire “hot spots” (brighter white enhancement)<\/em> could be seen through breaks in the clouds. Northern California was cloud-free, which allowed a good view of the fire hot spots over that region. Note: real-time GOES-14 SRSO-R images are available here<\/strong><\/a>, here<\/strong><\/a>, and here<\/a><\/strong>.

AWIPS images of GOES-15\/GOES-13 10.7 \u00c2\u00b5m IR channel data (below)<\/strong><\/em> showed that the thunderstorms moving across Idaho were producing numerous cloud-to-ground lightning strikes, which could have ignited new fire activity.<\/p>\n

An AWIPS comparison of Suomi NPP VIIRS 3.74 \u00c2\u00b5m shortwave IR and 0.7 \u00c2\u00b5m Day\/Night Band images at 09:30 UTC or 3:30 AM local time (below)<\/strong><\/em> revealed that there were still hot spot signatures (brighter white enhancement on the shortwave IR image)<\/em> evident as the fires in Idaho continued to burn through the night-time hours — and the large fire complexes also exhibited a very bright signature on the corresponding Day\/Night Band image. Other bright areas on the Day\/Night Band image were city lights.<\/p>\n
