GOES-16 (GOES-East) “Clean” Infrared Window (10.3 µm) + Fire Power (a component of the GOES Fire Detection and Characterization Algorithm FDCA), Shortwave Infrared (3.9 µm), Day Land Cloud Fire RGB and Fire Temperature RGB images (above) showed thermal signatures and pyrocumulus pulses associated with the Pulp Road Fire in far southeastern North Carolina on 16 June 2023. Beginning at 1646... Read More

The Canadian wildfire season has been off to an early start since the beginning of May, impacting air quality in parts of the United States since mid-May. Now, smoke from Quebec fires is back and affecting areas of the U.S. again, transporting as... Read More
