This set of images shows Singapore and the nearby region on May 29, 2015, when air quality conditions were normal, and on September 25, 2015, when a thick smoky haze covered the nation. Each image reveals a true-color image [top] from the Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) and atmospheric cross-section [bottom] from the Cloud-Aerosol Lidar and Infrared Pathfinder Satellite Observation (CALIPSO). The CALIPSO image from September 25 reveals the thick layer of smoke (dark orange) in the atmosphere.
