R to @CopernicusEU: Band B11 is sensitive to thermal radiation from hotspots, such as fires. The SWIR wavelengths in this band can penetrate smoke and thin clouds, allowing information to be retrieved even in the presence of smoke.

Over the past few days, several Northern California counties have been battling fires.
On July 27, 2024,
https://nitter.privacydev.net/search?q=%23Sentinel2
captured an image of the fire front in Butte County.
This image was produced using Sentinel-2's short-wave infrared (SWIR) bands, B11 and B12.

Kati Thanda–Lake Eyre, is an endorheic lake in the east-central part of the Far North region of South Australia, around 700 km north of Adelaide.
This is a short-wave infrared composite image. We can discern vegetation in green, water in deep blue, dry salt surfaces in turquoise.

R to @CopernicusEU: The image consists of the short-wave infrared and red bands of the Sentinel-2 sensor. Vegetation is highlighted in green, buildings are in various shades of grey, white and purple. The shadow of the Eiffel Tower is a black triangle in the center of the image, south of the Seine.

?
Hint: It passes through Paris! 🇫🇷
On this Urban False Color composite image, water surfaces such as the Seine River are black, but don't confuse them with cloud shadows. (identified based on the grey haze of the cloud itself)

R to @CopernicusEU: The Dutch West Frisian and the German East Frisian Islands are barrier islands.
They form as waves repeatedly deposit sediment parallel to the shoreline. As wind and waves shift according to weather patterns and local geo features, islands constantly ‘’move’’, erode, and grow.

[2024-07-24 07:43 UTC]

This image of the West and East Frisian Islands was acquired by # Sentinel2 last week.
This False Color Urban composite creates a visualization that shows urban areas in white and grey, water in black, and vegetation or crops in various shades of green.
