Description:
From space, we can understand fires in ways that are impossible from the ground.New Earth-observing satellites capture the significant impact of fires on our planet. This animation moves from a sequence of global fires in 2002 to conti-nental and close-up views of three significant fires in the western United Statesin the summer of that year: the Hayman fire, the Rodeo-Chediski fire, and theBiscuit fire. Particular emphasis is focused on the correlation of measurements from different satellite sensors. These sensors show many atmospheric and terrestrial phenomena that influence or are influenced by fires on Earth.
