The True Color RGB is produced using the 3 visible wavelength bands (red, green, and blue) from the respective sensor. Some minor atmospheric corrections have occurred.The color infrared image is created using the near-infrared, red, and green channels from the Planet instrument allowing for the ability to see areas impacted from the wildfires. The near-infrared gives the ability to see through thin clouds. Healthy vegetation is shown as red, water is in blue.Suggested Use:True Color RGB provides a product of how the surface would look to the naked eye from space.
