• Resumen

  • The article discusses the Day Night Band satellite sensor, part of the Visible Infrared Imaging Radiometer Suite aboard the U.S. National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration's (NOAA's) Suomi-National Polar-orbiting Partnership (NPP) satellite. Examples of various applications of the Day Night Band satellite sensor are presented, including charting Hurricane Flossie in 2013, locating wildfires, and the detection of waves and ripples in nightglow that could be used to identify tsunamis.
