Just whipped together an animation of the San Diego Fires from some recent MODIS scenes that I grabbed from the MODIS Rapid Response System. I put the animation together using GIMP.

    Nice work. This is an impressive graphic and helps illustrate just how severe the fires are.

    Very nicely done. What did you use to rectify the images (or were they already rectified)?

    Already rectified…just mashed them together as an animation in GIMP. Probably could have used ImageMagick, but didn’t.

    Nice animation. Seeing it reminds me just how close the fires where

    Very cool map. It’s crazy how visible the smoke was from space, being that people (me included) were only a few miles away. I was surprised how quickly everyone moved on — I think it helped that the Chargers won at home that week!
