Wildfires across the Balkans were filling the skies with smoke in late July 2007. This image of the area was captured by the Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer
(MODIS) on NASA’s
Terra satellite on July 29, 2007. Places where the sensor detected actively burning fires are marked with red dots. Thick smoke blows southward hundreds of kilometers from the eastern shores of the Adriatic Sea to the Mediterranean Sea.
The large image provided above has a spatial resolution (level of detail) of 250 meters per pixel. The MODIS Rapid Response Team provides
twice-daily images of the region in additional resolutions.
