Hurricane Madeline and Hurricane Lester over Hawaii August 2016. The natural-colour image above is a composite built from two overpasses by the Visible Infrared Imaging Radiometer Suite (VIIRS) on the Suomi NPP satellite on August 29, 2016. At the time, Hurricane Madeline and Hurricane Lester were both hovering between category 3 and 4 storms. The bright streaks across the ocean surface (crossing Hawaii and Lester) are areas of sunlit, where sunlight reflected directly back at the VIIRS imager
