This image is a composite of a thermal image and a normal photograph, showing the coastal plain and pali. Red areas are warm portions of the flow field that were active in the past weeks or months, while yellow and white areas are areas of active breakouts. This image shows a handful of active breakouts scattered across the flow field, but each one is relatively small. Some of these breakouts were only weakly active. Overall, this image shows a reduced level of activity on the flow field today.
