Description
English: Wildfire season is cranking up, and smoke was filling the western skies of the United States this week. On June 8, 2021, NOAA’s GOES East satellite viewed several fires in the states of California, New Mexico, Idaho, Utah, and Arizona. Some of the largest, in Arizona and New Mexico, reportedly have burned more than 200,000 acres of land. Sensors on GOES satellites can allow authorities to spot wildfires before they are spotted by the human eye by detecting smoke in remote areas and thermal hot spots from recently sparked fires.
