Summary
[edit]DescriptionWildfires in the sub-Saharan region (Copernicus).jpg |
English: This image, acquired by one of the Copernicus Sentinel-2 on 8 February 2022, shows ongoing wildfires in the Boma National Park in South Sudan. Fires are common at this time of year in the sub-Saharan region. Most of them are linked to age-old agricultural practices aimed at clearing the land of brushwood and crop residues. According to the Global Forest Watch, more than 20,000 fire alerts have been issued in the area throughout the month of January. CAMS data are a global benchmark for monitoring harmful emissions in the atmosphere emitted by different sources (wildfires, volcanoes, etc). |
