Summary

Description
English: An image from the MODIS instrument on the Aqua satellite taken over Greater Los Angeles on 8 January 2025 at 21:40GMT, showing the in the north. To the south, dust being blown offshore by the en:Santa Ana winds can be seen. This is a "false color" image assembled from Band 7 (2130nm) for red, Band 4 (555nm) for green, and Band 3 (469nm) for blue, with the overall color being adjusted to match that of the "true color" image. The infrared band used for the red channel allows the fires themselves to be more clearly seen, and makes the smoke (but not clouds or dust) appear more transparent.
