Summary
[edit]DescriptionSmoke cloud generated by the Dixie Fire (Copernicus).jpg |
English: This image, acquired by one of the Copernicus Sentinel-2 satellites on 23 July 2021, shows the cloud of smoke generated by the Dixie Fire. The Dixie Fire is currently the largest wildfire in California and the one that has burned the largest area (67,756 hectares according to CalFire) in 2021. In the same image, Lake Oroville can also be seen. This reservoir is heavily affected by the ongoing extreme drought on the American West Coast. According to data from the California Department of water resources, Lake Oroville is now at only 27% of its total capacity. Data from Copernicus services and missions allow us to monitor the effects of climate change around the world. |
