This animated visualization uses a moving three-day average of summed VIIRS measurments of fire radiative power (FRP), to present a view of fire intensities around the globe. || 2021_wildfire_intensity.1000_print.jpg (1024x576) [122.0 KB] || 2021_wildfire_intensity.1000_searchweb.png (320x180) [44.8 KB] || 2021_wildfire_intensity.1000_thm.png (80x40) [11.2 KB] || 2021_wildfire_intensity (1920x1080) [0 Item(s)] || 2021_wildfire_intensity_1080p30.mp4 (1920x1080) [18.9 MB] || 2021_wildfire_intensity_1080p30.webm (1920x1080) [5.5 MB] ||

This data visualization starts with an overview of the United States west coast. As we zoom into several California wildfires, MODIS data dissolves in to show some of the low-lying smoke resulting from these fires. The camera then pans across the United States, slowly revealing CALIPSO swath passes as they dissect the atmosphere. Throughout most of the journey CALIPSO picks up many aerosol signatures as shown in the more opaque portions of the curtain. || firex_comp2.0400_print.jpg (1024x576) [167.7 KB] || firex_comp2.0400_searchweb.png (320x180) [119.9 KB] || firex_comp2.0400_thm.png (80x40) [7.4 KB] || 1920x1080_16x9_30p (1920x1080) [0 Item(s)] || firex_comp2_1080p30.webm (1920x1080) [12.0 MB] || firex_comp2_1080p30.mp4 (1920x1080) [100.7 MB] || firex_comp2_1080p30.mp4.hwshow [185 bytes] ||

This visualization displays the MODIS Climate Modeling Grid (CMG) Mean Fire Radiative Power (FRP). The CMG fire products incorporate MODIS active fire data into gridded statistical summaries of fire pixel information intended for use in regional and global modeling. The products are currently generated at 0.5 degree spatial resolution. Many of the lower intensity fires shown in red were prescribed fires, lit for either agricultural or ecosystem management purposes. Orange indicates fires that were more intense with the most intense FRP being shown in yellow. Notice, many of the most intense fires occurred in higher latitudes. ||

This animated visualization uses a moving three-day average of measured fire radiative power (FRP), summing the 375 m resolution data into one-quarter degree bins, to present a view of fire intensities around the globe. || fires__2020_robinson.00001_print.jpg (1024x576) [69.5 KB] || fires__2020_robinson.00001_searchweb.png (320x180) [34.5 KB] || fires__2020_robinson.00001_thm.png (80x40) [4.4 KB] || fires__2020_robinson.webm (1920x1080) [5.3 MB] || fires__2020_robinson.mp4 (1920x1080) [86.7 MB] || fires__2020_robinson.mp4.hwshow [186 bytes] ||

Tracking aerosols over land and water from August 1 to November 1, 2017. Hurricanes and tropical storms are obvious from the large amounts of sea salt particles caught up in their swirling winds. The dust blowing off the Sahara, however, gets caught by water droplets and is rained out of the storm system. Smoke from the massive fires in the Pacific Northwest region of North America are blown across the Atlantic to the UK and Europe. This visualization is a result of combining NASA satellite data with sophisticated mathematical models that describe the underlying physical processes.Music: Elapsing Time by Christian Telford [ASCAP], Robert Anthony Navarro [ASCAP]Complete transcript available.Watch this video on the NASA Goddard YouTube channel. || 12772_hurricanes_and_aerosols_1080p_youtube_1080.00001_print.jpg (1024x576) [161.7 KB] || 12772_hurricanes_and_aerosols_1080p_youtube_1080.00001_searchweb.png (180x320) [108.8 KB] || 12772_hurricanes_and_aerosols_1080p_youtube_1080.00001_thm.png (80x40) [7.5 KB] || 12772_hurricanes_and_aerosols_appletv.m4v (1280x720) [78.1 MB] || 12772_hurricanes_and_aerosols_twitter_720.mp4 (1280x720) [34.1 MB] || 12772_hurricanes_and_aerosols.webm (960x540) [65.0 MB] || 12772_hurricanes_and_aerosols_appletv_subtitles.m4v (1280x720) [78.1 MB] || 12772_hurricanes_and_aerosols_1080p_large.mp4 (1920x1080) [163.1 MB] || 12772_hurricanes_and_aerosols_facebook_720.mp4 (1280x720) [184.9 MB] || 12772_hurricanes_and_aerosols_youtube_1080.mp4 (1920x1080) [247.2 MB] || 12772_hurricanes_and_aerosols_youtube_720.mp4 (1280x720) [247.9 MB] || 12772_hurricanes_aerosols_captions.en_US.srt [3.1 KB] || 12772_hurricanes_aerosols_captions.en_US.vtt [3.1 KB] || 12772_hurricanes_and_aerosols_UHD.mp4 (3840x2160) [739.9 MB] || 12772_hurricanes_and_aerosols_1080p-prores.mov (1920x1080) [4.3 GB] || 12772_hurricanes_and_aerosols_UHD_4444.mov (3840x2160) [40.1 GB] ||
