Imagery enhancement shown here displays geostationary satellite data in different ways depending on whether it is day or night. ....This image, captured as daylight moves into the area, offers a blend of both, with nighttime features on the left side of the image and daytime on the right. .....In nighttime imagery, liquid water clouds appear in shades of blue, ice clouds are grayish-white, water looks black, and land appears gray...... (The city lights are a static background created with VIIRS Day/Night Band imagery. It does not show any existing power outages.)... In daytime imagery, land and shallow-water features appear as they do in true-color imagery.
