Two Landsat images of the Fan-Bighorn
Creek area in northwestern Yellowstone. The left image is from July,
1988, and a forest fire can be seen burning in the center of the image.
Smaoke plumes are visible. The right image is from July 1999, eleven
years later. Regenerating forest appears as a medium green color
in area burned by the 1988 fires.

Remote sensing of 1988 Yellowstone
fires. The left image, using visible light, is what you'd see flying
over a forest fire - smoke! The right image combines several infrared
bands (reflective and thermal infrared) to cut through the smoke.
Bright yellow areas are actively burning fire lines.
