Title:
Aerosols from 2003 Southern California Fires (WMS)
Instrument:
Earth Probe/TOMS
Description:
Color scale for this animation showing low aerosol values as shades of blue and green and higher values as yellow, orange or red. The units of aerosol index are dimensionless.
Abstract:
A devastating series of fires occurred in Southern California during October 2003. The effects of these fires were detectable from space. The Total Ozone Mapping Spectrometer (TOMS) instrument measures aerosol particles (microscopic airborne dust and smoke). TOMS was able to detect aerosols from these fires moving West over the Pacific Ocean and East over the continental United States.
