Doppler radar

A doppler radar map type is used mainly on weather channels to display the weather for upcoming days. This radar is showing what Hurricane Katrina looked like right before it hit in 2005. You can see the different colors represent the different effects and winds the area was under the influence.

Infrared Aerial Photo

This map is a photo of Ft Leavenworth and the vegetation of this area. The website had the same area shown with a normal camera and then pictured this photo, to show how the infrared color really highlights the vegetation in this area. If there were more areas on this photo with less vegetation than you could really see the difference that an infrared aerial photo makes.
