Summary
[edit]DescriptionRecord-breaking heatwave causes major wildfires in Canada (Copernicus).jpg |
English: The ongoing extreme temperatures and record heatwave over western Canada have fuelled massive wildfires in British Columbia, such as the one visible in this image, which was imaged by one of the Copernicus Sentinel-2 satellites on 1 July 2021 at Lytton. At the end of June Lytton, a town 200 km northeast of Vancouver, registered a record temperature of 49.6°C. On the same day a wildfire affected the area, forcing the immediate evacuation of the residents. As this Sentinel-2 image shows, on 1 July the fire was still active. The open data from the Copernicus missions allows to assess with great accuracy the effects of heatwaves on vegetation and to monitor wildifres globally . |
