Oil Fires in Iraq: Natural Hazards
description:
On Friday, April 4, 2003, the modis.gsfc.nasa.gov Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) captured this image of dark black oil smoke hanging over Baghdad in central Iraq. The smoke is coming from oil-filled trenches that have been set on fire. North of center (see high resolution scene), a thermal anomaly detection (marked with a red dot) and smoke are visible as well. The source of that anomaly is unknown.
