The RGB is created using the red, green, and blue channels of the respective instrument.<\/span><\/p> The Short Wave Infrared (SWIR) RGB is a product that is created using the SWIR, NIR, and Red channels of the respective instrument.<\/span><\/p> Suggested Use:<\/span><\/p> The True Color RGB provides a product of how the surface would look to the naked eye from space. 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.<\/span><\/p> The Short Wave Infrared (SWIR) RGB is a product that can provides value in flood detection. Areas of water will appear blue, healthy green vegetation will appear as a bright green, urban areas in various shades of magenta, snow will appear as a bright blue/cyan, and bare soils being multicolor dependent on their makeup. Compare pre-event imagery to post-event imagery to identify potential flooding.<\/span><\/p> Satellite/Sensor:<\/span><\/p> MultiSpectral Instrument (MSI) on European Space Agency's (ESA) Copernicus Sentinel-2A/2B satellites<\/span><\/p> Resolution:<\/span><\/p> True Color: 10 meters<\/span><\/p> Credits:<\/span><\/p>
