Terra MODIS True Color RGB images on 06 June, 05 July and 09 July 2018 [click to enlarge]

A toggle between Terra MODIS True Color Red-Green-Blue (RGB) images (from the MODIS Today site) on 06 June, 05 July and 09 July 2018 (above) revealed the brightening yellow-green hues of blooming canola fields across parts of northeastern North Dakota and southern Manitoba. Note that changes can even be seen between the 2 days in early July!

Credit to NWS Grand Forks for alerting us to this interesting phenomenon.

Using @NOAASatellites‘ #GOES16 “true color” capability, we can see vast fields of blooming #canola within northern North Dakota into the Canadian southern prairie provinces shaded in speckled hues of yellow. ? #ndwx #mbwx #ndag #mbag pic.twitter.com/pOzBgDukY3
