October 16, 2009 - Fires in South Central Russia
Tweet
Wild fires and/or agricultural fires burned in south central Russia on October 10, 2009. The MODIS on NASA’s Aqua satellite captured this true-color image the same day. Red outlines indicate hotspots where MODIS has detected unusually high surface temperatures associated with active fires. Not all of the fires emit discernible smoke, but the smokes plumes that are visible consistently blow toward the east.
The large grouping of fires in the top right region of this image burn not far from Nazarovo (middle top) and the Yenisey (or Yenisei) River (lower right).
