Summary
[edit]
| Description |
English: Summer 2018 is officially under way in the Northern Hemisphere, as is fire season. Some areas of Northern California have already been subjected to burning, including Lake County—about 100 miles northwest of Sacramento—where the Pawnee fire has destroyed structures and spurred evacuations.
The fire started on the evening of June 23, 2018. When satellites acquired these images on June 24, the fire had burned more than 1,500 acres and was producing thick smoke. The Operational Land Imager (OLI) on Landsat 8 acquired the first image at 11:50 a.m. Pacific Time on the 24th. The Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) on NASA’s Aqua passed over a few hours later and acquired the wider view. Both images are natural color, overlaid with the infrared signature of actively burning fires. By June 26, the Pawnee fire had burned 11,500 acres and was 5 percent contained. Low humidity, erratic winds, and high temperatures helped the fire spread, according to CAL FIRE. The New York Times called it the “first explosive fire of the season.”Deutsch: Der Sommer 2018 hat auf der nördlichen Halbkugel gerade begonnen, und dasselbe gilt für die Waldbrandsaison in Kalifornien, wo einige Gebiete im Norden des Bundesstaates bereits von Feuern betroffen waren, darunter das etwa 160 km nordwestlich von Sacramento liegende Lake County, wo das Pawnee-Feuer Gebäude zerstörte und zu Evakuierungen führte.
Der Brand begann am Abend des 23. Juni 2018. Als die Satellitenaufnahme am 24. Juni angefertigt wurde, waren bereits mehr als 1500 Acre Raub der Flammen geworden, und das Feuer erzeugte dicke Rauchschwaden. Der Operational Land Imager (OLI) auf dem Landsat 8 fertigte das erste Bild am 24. Juni um 11:50 Uhr Pazifischer Sommerzeit an. Das Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) auf dem Aqua-Satelliten der NASA überquerte die Gegend einige Stunden später und nahm das Region der weiteren Region auf. Beide Bilder sind in natürlichen Farben dargestellt, und die Infrarotsignatur der aktiv brennenden Feuer sind darüber gelegt. Bis zum 26. Juni verbrannte das Pawnee-Feuer 11.500 Acre Land und war zu fünf Prozent eingedämmt. Geringe Luftfeuchtigkeit, wechselnde Winde und hohe Temperaturen halfen bei der Ausbreitung des Feuers, sagte CAL FIRE. Die New York Times bezeichnete den brand als “erstes explosives Feuer der Saison.” |
