Infrared Aerial Photo of Hurricane Ivan











Hurricane Ivan
Infrared photos depict the heat that an object or mass is giving emitting. This means that when the photo is taken the areas of darker colors, i.e. red and dark orange are the warmest part of the mass, while lighter colors such as blue and white depict the cooler areas. This infrared aerial photo is one of hurricane Ivan that hit the Pensacola coast in September 2004. You can see the different colors depicted in this photo and compare it with the color spectrum at the bottom of the photo.
