Summary
[edit]DescriptionSoutheastern China (MODIS 2016-03-05).jpg |
English: Southeast China was awash in smoke and haze, and speckled with actively burning fires in the closing days of February 2016. The Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) aboard NASA�s Terra satellite captured this true-color image on February 29.
Each red �hot spot� indicates an area where the thermal bands on the MODIS instrument detected an area where the temperature was higher than background. When combined with smoke, as in most of the hotspots in this image, such hotspots indicated actively burning fires. Most of the hotspots are scattered over primarily rural areas, and are widely spread in a pattern that suggests they are mostly agricultural in origin. Such fires are deliberately set to manage cropland and pastureland. |
