Why are the continents so red?
- dandelany 11y agoUnfortunately, Himawari's green filter is a different wavelength (color) than the green reflected by most plant life, so very little of it is captured, skewing the "true color" composite towards red. NOAA has an image product which attempts to correct for this - more details in my comment here: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=10978249 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=10978249
