Talk:Hurricane Rosa (2018)

Infobox image
Should we use or  for Rosa's image? There is a dispute going on about which one should be in the infobox. Figfires Send me a message! 22:31, 14 October 2018 (UTC)
 * I personally prefer the colored IR image (2) over the B/W overnight visible image. (1). There seems to be a stigma against IR imagery, which results in these kinds of things happening. In this case however it is better to use a colored image, even if it is an IR image. Cooper 22:35, 14 October 2018 (UTC)
 * Although I normally prefer a colored, visible satellite image, it seems that for this storm, we don't have a picture with all the best aspects. In this case, I think that the current visible, nighttime image would be best, since it is a detailed image that does a great job of depicting the storm at peak intensity.

 * I have to disagree. The colored IR looks much more natural than the nighttime image. There isn't anything wrong with having an IR image on an article. Figfires Send me a message! 22:45, 14 October 2018 (UTC)
 * We've been using nighttime or black and white images for a while, especially on the articles for the older storms. The nighttime image looks more natural to me (just a black and white version of what I would expect if the storm was viewed under moonlight), and the details of the storm are much more defined and visible than they are in the IR image. Visible imagery is normally more natural in appearance than IR and radar images. For me, the color is the only downside, but the quality and details in the nighttime image are still preferable when compared to the IR image.

 * If we use the visual, I would prefer the black and white as it looks more natural than a colored one. It peaked at nighttime and should be black and white as such. A colored visual gives the impression it peaked during the day which is not true. Figfires Send me a message! 00:54, 15 October 2018 (UTC)
