Amazing NASA Video of a Decade of Earth's Fires
By Mark Perry
"NASA has
released a series of new satellite data visualizations that show tens of
millions of fires detected worldwide from space since 2002. The visualizations
show fire observations made by the MODerate Resolution Imaging
Spectroradiometer, or MODIS, instruments onboard NASA's Terra and Aqua
satellites.
NASA maintains a comprehensive research program using satellites, aircraft
and ground resources to observe and analyze fires around the world. The
research helps scientists understand how fire affects our environment on local,
regional and global scales."
