Oil spill control fire after the Gulf of Mexico Deepwater Horizon oil. The large image shows the extent of the smoke plumes on September 22, 2009. Air pollution in Los Angeles 6 NASA graphic depiction of rising sea levels 15 2.1. Smoke plumes from these fires blew well northward of the Oregon-Washington border then curved westward over the Pacific Ocean. west and captured an image of heat from several fires and their plumes of smoke in Oregon. The red outlines indicate hotspots associated with unusually warm surface temperatures. NASAs Terra satellite passed over the U.S. Smoke passes near the city of Eugene and continues toward the north-northwest. Near their sources, the dual smoke plumes are so thick they are opaque. According to the Incident Information System, the Tumblebug Complex Fire was ignited September 12, 2009, by a lightning strike, and the Rainbow Fire was ignited likely by another lightning strike the next day, although officials didn’t detect the fire until September 22. The algorithm maps the spatial extent of recent fires and not of fires.

It detects the approximate date of burning at a spatial resolution of 500 m by locating the occurrence of rapid changes in daily surface reflectance time series data. The Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) on NASA’s Aqua satellite captured this image the same day. The MODIS burned area mapping algorithm takes advantage of these spectral, temporal, and structural changes. image from NASAs Terra satellite shows smoke from numerous forest fires. Burn severity Map of the Oregon 2002 Biscuit Fire.
Using daily, global fire detection provided by the Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) on NASA’s Terra satellite, scientists at Goddard Space Flight Center and. The first one is that postfire logging diminishes fire risk via fuel reduction and that these forests.
Wildfires not far from Eugene, Oregon, sent thick smoke toward the north-northwest on September 22, 2009. Fires are three-dimensional phenomena, more like a thunderstorm than a flood. The maps are a milestone in the use of satellite data for creating a long-term fire record that is crucial for understanding the impact of fire on life and climate.
