Summary
[edit]DescriptionFires in southwestern Australia (MODIS 2017-12-27).jpg |
English: Multiple fires burned in southern Australia in late December 2017. The Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) aboard NASA’s Aqua satellite acquired this true-color image on December 22.
The red-and-tan land encompasses southeastern Western Australia (left section of the image) and southwestern South Australia. Red hot spots dot the landscape in both of the Australian states, each accompanied by gray smoke. Such hot spots are areas where the thermal bands on the instrument detected temperatures higher than background. When accompanied by typical smoke, as in this image, such hot spots are diagnostic for actively burning fire. |
