The Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer acquired a false-color image of the scene on May 7.

Summary

[edit]
Description
English: Several fires charred the Okavango Delta, Botswana, in early May 2018. The Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer acquired a false-color image of the scene on May 7. In this image, which uses data from bands 7, 2, and 1, vegetation appears electric green, water appears black, and non-vegetated land appears light brown. Red hot spots mark areas where the thermal bands on the instrument detected high temperatures – in this case, the hot spots mark actively burning fire. Fire burns on the periphery of large chocolate-brown areas. These are burn scars – areas where fire has consumed the vegetation, leaving only charred debris and soil visible.
Date Taken on 7 May 2018
