Images of some of these climate events – visually stunning and delayed by the same measure – have been obtained by NASA’s Earth-Observation Satellites and a fleet of devices. International Space Station.
On this day last year, NASA’s medium-resolution imaging spectroradometer captured images of thick, red-colored smoke in southeastern Australia, as the record was devastated by its worst forest fire asons in the country.
Australia The fire season in Australia is always dangerous – but in 2020 the conditions were unusually severe, requiring flames and making firefighting conditions particularly difficult.
Experts say the reversal has worsened the scope and impact of natural disasters such as fires and floods – weather conditions are becoming more intense, and over the years fires have been starting in season and spreading with greater intensity.
In the image below captured on September 9, a thick blanket of smoke can be seen along the west coast,
“Climate and fire scientists have long expected that fires in the U.S. West would get bigger, more intense and more dangerous. Coast states say, ”NASA said.
Some of this year The fire was started by lightning, but extreme conditions, including record-breaking temperatures, dry air, strong winds and drought, led to litter incidents in nearby forests and eventually in homes.
Visible Infrared Imaging Radiometer Suite (VIRS) and Ozone Mapping and Profiler Suite (OMPS) sensors found on the NOAA-NASA Suomi NPP Satellite, U.S. Rosol collects daily images of thick plumes of particles blowing in the West, which, according to NASA, was on a scale that is rarely seen by satellites and scientists.
Drought
Although the picture appears to be a greenery and greenery oasis, this image captured by NASA’s Landset actually depicts the parked river basin of the Paran River in Argentina.
Due to unusually hot weather and extended periods of drought in southern Brazil, Paraguay and northern Argentina, the rivers went to their lowest levels in decades. The drought has led to an increase in fire activities in the surrounding delta and flood areas, but the grain industry has also affected local businesses and residents with millions of dollars worth of shipwrecks and low water levels.
Hurricanes
Hurricane Laura, one of the 10 strongest hurricanes to make landfill in the U.S., swept through southwest Louisiana in August, killing at least six people and leaving a huge path of destruction.
In the picture above, the NOAA-20 satellite was captured by VIIRS, the storm U.S. The coast is illuminated by night darkness, while the luminosity is shown in the clouds infrared using temperature data, and overlaid on images depicting city lights.
