Current satellite view of california fires.

Fire perimeter and hot spot data. Satellite image 2020 maxar technologies. New satellite images show the smoke from wildfires that s drifted 600 miles into the pacific ocean and made california s air quality plummet to very unhealthy and hazardous levels. Zoom into recent high resolution maps of property.

For low cost sensor data a correction equation is also applied to mitigate bias in the sensor data. The fire and smoke map shows fine particulate 2 5 micron pm 2 5 pollution data obtained from air quality monitors and sensors information is shown on both the epa s air quality index scale using the nowcast aqi algorithm and also as hourly pm 2 5 concentration values. This combination of satellite images shows the lnu lightning complex wildfire burning to the west of healdsburg in sonoma county california on aug. These fires already amplified by a warming.

Burned vegetation appears in shades of orange rust while healthy not burned vegetation appears in blue.

All fire detections this is a list of all recent potential fires detected within california by the four satellites. Fire origins mark the fire fighter s best guess of where the fire started. Details include reporting satellite county times of first and last detection hours of duration highest temperature detected the highest fire radiative power frp detected and a geographic coordinate id number for each.
