SeaWiFS: California Wild Fires
NASA's Sea-Viewing Wide Field-of-View sensor (SeaWiFS) captured this striking image of large dust and smoke plumes blowing from Baja, California, February 10, 2002.

Here and there amongst the yellowish brown dust plumes, whiter smoke plumes are also visible, including a smaller one that appears to be coming from the Fallbrook, California area. Eleven people were injured and over thirty homes were destroyed in the town.SeaWiFS captured this image of numerous large dust plumes blowing oceanward from Baja California, Mexico.    Here and there amongst the yellowish brown dust plumes, whiter smoke plumes are also visible, including a smaller one that appears to be coming from the Fallbrook, California area.
