Summary
[edit]DescriptionSmoke from western wildfires over the Atlantic Ocean (MODIS 2015-09-06).jpg |
English: Smoke from many treacherous wildfires burning in the western United States and Canada was carried across the country and poured over the Atlantic Ocean in late August 2015.
The Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) aboard NASA�s Terra satellite captured this true-color image on August 29. The smoke from the distant fires remains so heavy that Prince Edward Island and Nova Scotia, in north-eastern Canada, the waters of the Gulf of St. Lawrence and the blue water of the Atlantic Ocean are completely obscured by the gray river of smoke. The smoke also has reached southern Newfoundland, although the air appears clear inland over that island. |
