A screen grab from the Infrared Imagery Robert, in a comment on our earlier thread, “Map of Tea Fire From Television”, said:
I just posted this morning’s thermal IR imagery- http://www.fireimaging.com/homepage.html
Thanks Robert. For those not familiar with infrared imagery, it is not exactly a map, but is a plot of heat detected this morning by sensors on an aircraft. Trained infrared interpreters can take this imagery and draw the perimeter of the fire on a map.
The resolution of the “map” is not great but you can almost see where houses are in the Santa Barbara and Montecito areas.
Very cool. Thanks Robert.
I would love to see some from the first night. I am assuming that the light areas are likely burned but out, but it would be great to know for sure.
