Hundreds of forest fires continue to burn across the boreal forests of Russia, releasing thick clouds of smoke that are spreading as far south as South Korea and central China.
Zooming down to New South Wales, Australia to view smoke.
A large dust storm develops over China on April 6 and 7, 2001. This animation shows the dust moving over China, Russia, Japan, the Pacific Ocean, and Canada, settling over the United States.
The fires in New South Wales continue to send great quantities of smoke across the Tasman Sea.
Researchers have discovered that smoke and smog move in different ways through the atmosphere. A series of unusual events several years ago created a blanket of pollution over the Indian Ocean. In this animation, significant smog or tropospheric ozone is represented by red and green and regions of significant smoke index are in shades of white and gray.
The fires that raged across southern Africa in August and September of 2000 produced a thick river of smoke that observers compared with the aftermath of the Kuwaiti oil fires in 1991. NASA-supported studies currently underway on the event will contribute to improved air pollution policies in the region and a better understanding of its impact on climate change.
NASAs Sea-Viewing Wide Field-of-View sensor (SeaWiFS) captured this striking image of large dust and smoke plumes blowing from Baja, California, February 10, 2002.
A composite of SeaWiFS images from September 18, 1997 through September 25, 1997 showing smoke plumes over Indonesia and southeast Asia
Panning across New South Wales, Australia, looking at smoke.
Smoke from multiple large wildfires in Quebec, Canada, drifted far to the south of the border. The Canadian Interagency Forest Fire Center reported there were seven out-of-control fires burning south of James Bay (the southern extension of Hudson Bay), all probably the result of lightning.
