Vivir donde el fuego siempre vuelve La lucha contra los incendios ha dejado de centrarse exclusivamente en la extinción. Hoy se plantea desde una óptica más ambiciosa y estructural, en la que la innovación tecnológica, la participación ciudadana y la gestión territorial son imprescindibles.

Aerosol detection (ADP) from the VIIRS sensor on the @noaa.gov SNPP & NOAA-20 satellites shows thick smoke (lavender/magenta shading), transported from the Manitoba wildfires, over southern ON/QC & NY, PA, NJ, DE, MD, VA & DC yesterday 3 Jun, causing hazy skies & vivid sunsets.

(1/2) Manitoba wildfires' smoke extended from the US Plains to the Southeast on 1 Jun, observed by VIIRS on the @noaa.gov NOAA-20 satellite. The smoke degraded daily PM2.5 air quality along its path (yellow dots), with the worst conditions in ND, SD & MN (red/orange dots). @avoiland.bsky.social

(2/2) Daily PM2.5 air quality estimated from observations of the VIIRS sensor on @noaa.gov satellites shows the full surface impacts of the Manitoba wildfires' smoke in the eastern US on 1 Jun, filling gaps in the PM2.5 regulatory monitor network, especially in rural areas. @avoiland.bsky.social

Hello Bluesky! We are excited to join this community! We post satellite observations of global aerosol and air quality events, including wildfires, dust storms, and haze. We focus on NOAA geostationary & polar-orbiting satellite products, but also feature TEMPO and TROPOMI imagery as well.

Yesterday , in #Iceland #highlatitudedust activity in the southern coast, a thin , long but thick dust plume is visible in MODIS image.

In fact there was a good #Landsat overpass , so it is nice to compare the different information provided at different spatial resolutions

👋 Spinning up my time on here... You'll be getting posts like this one, which shows NO2 pollution as observed by satellite data last year. More posts on air quality, climate, and remote sensing to come!

Imagem registrada pelo satélite da Agência Copernicus mostra que toda a mancha vermelha no mapa é fumaça. O Laboratório de Aplicações de Satélites da UFRJ indicou que o Pantanal brasileiro perdeu dois milhões de hectares por causa das queimadas.
