1. Sea of
Japan
Full moon depiction at night using VIIRS Day Night Band (DNB) with Enhanced IR along with an application of the Lunar reflection model developed by Steve Miller.
The enhancement assists in enhancing features within a variety of lunar phases. Note the contrast between the high cirrus shield in the middle and upper right (white/dull blue shades) vs the middle and low
cloud field (bright yellow) throughout the rest of the image.

With less cloud coverage, this DNB with Enhanced IR image a few nights later (nearly full moon conditions) shows a variety of fishing activity
(numerous small yellow dots) throughout the Sea of Japan.
