Summary
[edit]DescriptionBushfires in Queensland, Australia.jpg |
English: Bushfires are affecting the Western Downs region of Queensland, Australia. These fires have burnt more than 7,400 hectares of vegetation, causing significant damage. On 16 February, one of the Copernicus Sentinel-2 satellites captured a pyrocumulus cloud produced by a fire ongoing near Pelham. This type of cloud develops as a result of the intense heat of a wildfire, which causes the air to rise rapidly and creates a plume of smoke and ash. Through its advanced multispectral capabilities, Copernicus Sentinel-2 satellites enable the monitoring of the impact of wildfires on vegetation. |
