Detailed Description

A normal photograph along with a thermal image of the flow front. The white box shows the approximate extent of the thermal image. The thermal image clearly shows the distribution of active breakouts (white and yellow areas), which are scattered at the leading edge of the flow but are also present up to about 1.8 km (1.1 miles) behind the flow front.
