<\/a>1-minute GOES-18 Fire Temperature RGB images, from 1810 UTC on 7th January to 2359 UTC on 10th January [click to play MP4 animation<\/strong><\/a>]<\/p><\/div>1-minute Mesoscale Domain Sector<\/strong><\/a> GOES-18 (GOES-West)<\/em> Fire Temperature RGB<\/strong><\/a> images — created using Geo2Grid<\/strong><\/a> (above)<\/strong><\/em> depicted thermal signatures from several Los Angeles area wildfires from 7th January to 10th January 2025. Most notable were the 2 larger signatures from the initial Palisades Fire<\/strong><\/a> (near the coast, which started at 1824 UTC on 7th January<\/strong><\/a>) and later the Eaton Fire<\/strong><\/a> (farther inland, to the northeast) — with a few smaller and more short-lived fire signatures (such as from the Hurst Fire<\/strong><\/a>, Sunset Fire<\/strong><\/a> and Kenneth Fire<\/strong><\/a>) also seen during that 4-day period. The bright yellow pixels highlighted the hottest portion of the fires. Passing clouds occasionally masked or partially obscured the thermal signatures of some fires.<\/p>\n 1-minute GOES-18 True Color RGB images from the CSPP GeoSphere<\/strong><\/a> site during the daytime hours on 7th-10th January (below)<\/strong><\/em> displayed pronounced smoke plumes from the Palisades Fire and the Eaton Fire during those 4 days (along with lesser smoke plumes from smaller fires).<\/p>\n
