Codenamed "Fire".
Intriguingly, it has been added to EPAC sat images, but not ATL images.

Re: New enhancement added to IR images
The Fire IR2 images appear to be in the tropical atlantic archive from which the main page pulls images, but they didn't create links to them for some reason... http://www.ssd.noaa.gov/goes/east/tatl/img/ listed with "ir2f" in the filenames. Every few days I use HTTrack to grab all these files, and a small batch file I created to sort them into folders for each type. These are fun to watch as fast slideshows. I kind of like the JSL images right now. Nice blue color, silvery clouds and red tops.

No, no codename. Just something used by SSD/SAB to find wildfires quickly . . . they will show up as "blazing" white on that image, as it allows the heat of the fires (it is an infrared image, for the heat) to stand out from the rest of our relatively cool and mundane earth . . .
