McIDAS images of GOES-13 0.63 \u00c2\u00b5m visible channel data (above; click image to play animation)<\/strong><\/em> revealed the development of a very broad and dense smoke plume emanating from a large wildfire that was burning just northwest of Goose Bay, Labrador (station identifier CYYR)<\/em>\u00c2\u00a0 in far eastern Canada on <\/strong>13 June 2012<\/strong><\/a>. Note the appearance of a number of bright “pyro-cumulus” clouds near the fire source region, as the very hot fires produced intense updrafts to form large towering cumulus clouds. As an aside, it is interesting to note that there were still a number of large ice floes (slow-moving brighter white features)<\/em> not far off the Labrador coast, which were drifting slowly northward during the day.<\/p>\n

McIDAS images of 375-meter resolution (projected onto a 1-km AWIPS grid)<\/em> Suomi NPP VIIRS 0.64 \u00c2\u00b5m visible channel data and 3.74 \u00c2\u00b5m shortwave IR channel data (below)<\/strong><\/em> showed the large size of the fire “hot spot” (yellow to red to black pixels),<\/em> in addition to the thick smoke plume.<\/p>\n

A comparison of Suomi NPP VIIRS 3.74 \u00c2\u00b5m shortwave IR images from 12 June and 13 June (below)<\/strong><\/em> show how large the fire hot spot had grown in a day.
