AIRCRAFT ACQUIRED IMAGERY PAGE McNally_MAS1.html

These images from the MODIS Airborne Simulator (MAS) data were acquired over the McNalley Fire, Sequoia National Forest, California on August 6, 2002. MAS was flown on the NASA ER-2 and the imagery was acquired from approximately 65,000 feet MSL. The image pair depicts a natural color composite on the left and a thermal IR composite on the right. Spectral bands (band centers) for the natural color image are 0.655um/0.549um/0.465um and spectral bands (band centers) for the thermal IR image are 11.01um/2.15um/1.64um. The attenuation by smoke can be easily seen in the visible image on the left, while the fire activity can be seen in the thermal composites on the right. These images were processed by the NASA Ames Airborne Sensor Facility.
