The data collected by FIRMS are presented as a free web mapping service, with the active fire locations if any overlaid on a map. [1] The detections are displayed on top of a static background layer and each visualized detection is clickable to display its data, such as detection time, coordinates, satellite and instrument.
Along Track Scanning Radiometers aboard weather satellites are able to detect wildfires, which show up at night as pixels with a greater temperature than 308 K (35 °C; 95 °F). [18] The Moderate-Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer aboard the Terra satellite can detect thermal hot spots associated with wildfires, volcanoes, and industrial hot ...
A satellite map of the Gulf of Mexico reveals the “loop current,” a hairpin curve of hotter than usual water that could help grow future Hurricane Helene into a Category 3 storm.
The blue beam in this image is the ozone layer, beaming further to the mesosphere. The ozone heats the stratosphere, making conditions stable. The stratosphere is also the altitude limit of jets and weather balloons, as air is roughly a thousand times thinner there than at the troposphere. [11]
A satellite image of Hurricane Helene just before sunset on Sept. 26, 2024, around the time that it was upgraded to a category 4 storm. (NOAA/GOES-EAST) "A landfall Thursday night near the city of ...
Storm surge pushes water past wind swept palm trees along the Gulf of Mexico, in Horseshoe Beach, Fla., on Aug. 5. The Summary Despite high ocean temperatures, hurricane season has hit a lull.
A weather satellite or meteorological satellite is a type of Earth observation satellite that is primarily used to monitor the weather and climate of the Earth. Satellites are mainly of two types: polar orbiting (covering the entire Earth asynchronously) or geostationary (hovering over the same spot on the equator ).
The National Hurricane Center (NHC) warned of Hurricane Ida’s potential impacts to parts of Louisiana, Mississippi, and Alabama on Saturday, August 28, ahead of the cyclone’s expected landfall ...
