Satellite images show a western fire that produces huge clouds of smoke and pollutants.


Satellite images taken from historic historic wildfires in the west show shocking amounts of smoke and other pollutants from where the fire is burning.

At least 36 people are expected to die in wildfires in California, Oregon and Washington state.

There were about three dozen fires in Oregon Monday night, according to state statistics. A Reagan congressional delegation said about 1 million acres of land had doubled to an average of about 500,000 in the entire forest season.

In California, the largest glitter in the history of the modern state, the massive August Gust Complex fire, burned more than 755,600 acres in Northern California, and by Monday it was only 30 percent. That fire was started by lightning last month.

Maxer Technologies on Tuesday collected satellite images of the clouds at the angle of Bho due to the thunder fire.

Last week, another satellite image taken by NASA showed smoke from fires in Oregon and California. NASA said the smoke was so thick, it could be seen from 1 million miles away. On Monday, the National Weather Service said the smoke had spread to the east coast, affecting New York City skies as well.

NASA is also capturing a high aerosol index over the US as a result of the fire. The red in these images on Sunday shows the highest level of aerosol, which can affect the state of health.

Carbon monoxide levels are also rising as a result of the fire, taken between September 6 and September 14, according to NASA images.

According to NASA, “released by fire with smoke and ash, carbon monoxide is a pollutant that can survive in the atmosphere for about a month and take a long distance,” according to NASA. “At high altitudes in these images, the gas has little effect on the air we breathe; however, strong winds can move it downwards where it can significantly affect air quality. Carbon monoxide plays a role in both air pollution and climate change. . “

Carbon monoxide plumes blown by jet flow have also reached the East Coast and the Atlantic Ocean.
