Haze over China |
| Description |
Haze mingled with clouds in the skies over eastern China on March 20, 2007. The Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) [ http://modis.gsfc.nasa.gov/ ] flying onboard NASA's Aqua [ http://aqua.nasa.gov/ ] satellite took this picture the same day. In this image, opaque white clouds and dingy gray haze obscure the view of the land surface while thick brown sediment clouds the shoreline of the Yellow Sea. At least some of the haze results from pollution as China rapidly industrializes. Ubiquitous settlements in China appear in this image as tiny beige dots in a sea of green vegetation, especially near the Yellow Sea.

Haze Over Eastern China |
| Description |
Thick haze blurs the North China Plain, right, and snakes through the valley the Yellow River cuts through the Luliang Shan Mountains, left. In the north, the haze seems to dissipate near China's capital, Beijing, west of the Bo Hai, the bay off the Yellow Sea. In this Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer [ http://modis.gsfc.nasa.gov ] (MODIS) image captured on April 5, 2004, by the Aqua [ http://aqua.nasa.gov/ ] satellite, the haze clings near the ground, letting the peaks of the mountains peek through, while white clouds hover above. Such haze is common in Eastern China, particularly during the winter when people burn coal and wood for heat. The high-resolution image provided above is at MODIS' maximum resolution of 250 meters per pixel.

Haze over Eastern China |
| Description |
Another thick band of haze covered much of the low-lying coastal basin of eastern China on October 2, 2006. The Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) [ http://modis.gsfc.nasa.gov ] on NASA's Aqua [ http://aqua.nasa.gov/ ] satellite took this picture the same day. The smog extended from the Liaoning region in the northeast to Beijing in the west, and it stretched southwards past the coast bordering the Yellow Sea. Like the haze that covered the region on September 17, [ http://earthobservatory.nasa.gov/NaturalHazards/natural_hazards_v2.php3?img_id=13877 ] this smog kept to the coastal plain, away from the Taihang Shan Mountains in the west. Likewise, the haze strayed somewhat from the coast around the Yellow Sea. In this image, the relatively clear area along the coast provides a view of the underlying terrain. The tan dots indicate settlements in the otherwise vegetated plain. Among the world's most densely populated areas, China's Beijing region produces considerable urban and industrial smog. Some of the haze in this image may also result from agricultural fires. Weather patterns can sometimes play a role in trapping pollutants over the region.

Haze over Eastern China |
| Description |
Haze clouded the skies over eastern China on November 28, 2006. The Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) [ http://modis.gsfc.nasa.gov/ ] flying onboard NASA's Aqua [ http://aqua.nasa.gov/ ] satellite took this picture the same day. In this image, dingy gray haze obscures the view of the land surface while thick brown sediment clouds the Yellow Sea and Bo Hai near the shore. As in an earlier [ http://earthobservatory.nasa.gov/NaturalHazards/natural_hazards_v2.php3?img_id=13953 ] image of this region, the haze clings primarily to low-lying coastal areas, while leaving the skies relatively clear over the Taihang Shan Mountains in the west. Although the skies over the mountains are free of smog, they are filled with clouds. Opaque white clouds also mingle with the haze over the lower elevations and the water. One week before MODIS acquired this image, air pollution registered in the "hazardous" category of the China Environmental Monitoring Center's index, according to the Reuters news service. Likewise, Voice of America reported that in the first half of 2006, China's pollution increased, including a 2.4 percent increase in industrial wastewater, and a 4 percent increase in sulfur dioxide, which results from the burning of fossil fuels.

Haze over Eastern China |
| Description |
Continuing the pattern from late November, haze collected over eastern China on December 3, 2006. The Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) [ http://modis.gsfc.nasa.gov/ ] flying onboard NASA's Aqua [ http://aqua.nasa.gov/ ] satellite took this picture the same day. In this image, gray haze hugs the low-lying coastal areas of eastern China, keeping away from the Taihang Shan Mountains in the west. One clear region in the lowlands is the area adjacent to the Yellow Sea. Fluffy white clouds fringe the region, perhaps related to a weather system contributing to trapping the haze.

Haze over Eastern China
| Title |
Haze over Eastern China |
| Description |
Dense haze completely obscured the North China Plain and the Bo Hai (a bay in the Yellow Sea) when the Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS [ http://modis.gsfc.nasa.gov ]) on NASA's Aqua [ http://aqua.nasa.gov/ ] satellite flew over on December 20, 2006. The thick brown haze seen here is most common in winter, when coal is burned to provide heat. The haze covers the normally distinctive cities and crop lands and seeps into mountain valleys to the north. A few small clouds float over the brown soup, and low clouds or fog sit under the haze near Beijing. China's State Environmental Protection Administration [ http://english.sepa.gov.cn/ ] reported that the air over Beijing was lightly polluted, the fourth designation on a seven-point scale for air quality where "heavily polluted" is the highest designation. To see twice-daily images [ http://rapidfire.sci.gsfc.nasa.gov/subsets/?FAS_China4 ] of eastern China, please visit the MODIS Rapid Response web site.

Haze over Eastern China |
| Description |
One day after a thick plume of haze crept toward Beijing, much of eastern China was obscured on October 23, 2007. The Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) [ http://modis.gsfc.nasa.gov ] on NASA's Aqua [ http://aqua.nasa.gov ] satellite took this picture the same day, showing haze dense enough to completely block the view of the land surface below. As on the previous day, the haze largely avoided the Taihang Shan Mountains southwest of the capital city, although fingers of haze crept westward toward the peaks. Thick haze spread from Beijing southward, well past the coast of the Yellow Sea. NASA image courtesy the MODIS Rapid Response Team [ http://rapidfire.sci.gsfc.nasa.gov ] at NASA GSFC.

Haze over Korea
| Title |
Haze over Korea |
| Description |
On February 6, 2007, thick haze blew across the Yellow Sea and the Korean Peninsula toward Japan. The Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) [ http://modis.gsfc.nasa.gov ] on NASA's Aqua [ http://aqua.nasa.gov ] satellite took this picture the same day. In this image, the band of haze appears to narrow somewhat as it crosses over South Korea, then spreads out over the Sea of Japan. Skies over North Korea and the northern portion of the Sea of Japan are relatively clear. Opaque white clouds mix with the haze, especially over the Yellow Sea and Japan. Through the haze, thick brown sediment can be seen along China's coast. The haze appears particularly thick in southeastern China and western Japan. In part, the smoggier appearance results from the location of those areas along the edge of the swath that the satellite observed. At the swath edges, the MODIS sensor is looking through the atmosphere at an angle, creating a longer line of sight that enhances the appearance of haze. China's air pollution problems are function of its rapidly developing economy. With an energy infrastructure dominated by coal-burning power plants and a dramatic increase in private vehicle ownership over the past decade, the country has experienced a deterioration in air quality, a problem which spills over national boundaries. On February 8, 2007, the Worldwatch Institute issued a news release that China's parliament backed a plan to shut down many of the nation's smaller coal-fired power plants. According to World Watch magazine, small plants release 20 times as much smog-forming pollutants as larger plants.

Haze Shadows Winter Crops in
| Title |
Haze Shadows Winter Crops in China |
| Description |
For the most populous country in the world, maximizing agricultural production is a high priority. With nearly 1.3 billion people (United Nation estimates for 2001) to feed, China faces numerous challenges to food security, including rapid conversion of agricultural lands to development and severe water shortages. This pair of images from the Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) on NASA?s Aqua satellite reveals another threat to agricultural productivity: regional haze. The top image shows a natural-color view of thick haze over the crop-growing areas north of the Yangtze River in eastern China on February 28, 2005. Similar to a digital photograph, the image shows how a blanket of air pollution shadows some of China's most important winter crop-growing regions so completely that the surface is hidden from the satellite?s view. The image on the bottom of the pair uses short-wave and near-infrared observations from MODIS to better reveal the landscape underneath the haze. Bright green winter crops, mostly wheat and (close to the Yangtze River) rice, stretch across the plain between the mountains to the west (left) and the Yellow Sea (right). Water is deep blue or brighter blue when sediment levels are high. In 1999, NASA-funded scientists announced the results [ http://earthobservatory.nasa.gov/Newsroom/MediaAlerts/1999/19991206786.html ] of a study on how haze affects crop production in China. The scientists discovered that the year-round haze may be directly shielding sunlight from crops strongly enough to reduce productivity by 30 percent or more over as much as 70 percent of the country?s crops. The research suggests that China could reap agricultural as well as human health rewards by reducing air pollution. The large image provided has a spatial resolution of 1 kilometer per pixel. The MODIS Rapid Response System provides this image at additional resolutions.

Dust Storm over the Yellow S
| Title |
Dust Storm over the Yellow Sea |
| Description |
On November 6, 2005, a massive dust storm swept southward over the Yellow Sea from northern China. This storm followed on the heels of perhaps the worst air pollution [ http://earthobservatory.nasa.gov/NaturalHazards/natural_hazards_v2.php3?img_id=13250 ] in nearby Beijing in six months, according to news reports. The Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) [ http://modis.gsfc.nasa.gov/ ] flying onboard the Aqua [ http://aqua.nasa.gov/ ] satellite captured this image on November 6. In this image, pale beige dust plumes streak southward over the Bo Hai, Korea Bay, and Yellow Sea, likely mixing with air pollutants from other parts of the country as the dust passes over the ocean. According to a news report [ http://www.guardian.co.uk/international/story/0,3604,1605041,00.html ] in The Guardian, China was named the "air pollution capital of the world" in the fall of 2005. This dust storm, however, owes its existence to more than pollution. The sandy deserts of Mongolia lie to the north, and Mongolia is one of the world's most prolific sources of dust. Yet this region produces some treasures along with natural hazards. Sandwiched between Mongolia to the north, and Bo Hai to the south, is Liaoning, a part of China that has become famous in recent years for its fossils, such as feathered dinosaurs [ http://www.amnh.org/exhibitions/dinosaurs/diorama/forest.php ].

Particle Pollution in Easter
| Title |
Particle Pollution in Eastern China |
| Description |
In east-central China, the broad coastal plain through which the Yellow River drains out to Bo Hai is surrounded in an arc by a landscape of ridges and valleys. In this Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) image from the sensor on the Aqua satellite on November 17, 2004, the coastal plain takes up most of the scene. Grayish haze spreads across the coastal plain, and it fills valleys in the west, highlighting the topography. For example, the south-flowing Fen River at left center edge cuts a broad swath into the Taiyue Shan ("Shan" means "mountains" in Chinese), and haze has settled into the low-lying terrain. The haze flows off the continent and out over Bo Hai (top right) and the Yellow Sea (center right). The haze is likely a combination of several factors: emissions from the country's coal-dominated electricity production, smoke from home heating fires, and vehicle exhaust and other urban pollution from the region's large cities, such as Beijing and Tianjin.

Fires in Eastern China
| Title |
Fires in Eastern China |
| Description |
In eastern China in mid-June 2005, fires were burning in the northern part of Jiangsu province on the coast of the Yellow Sea. In this image from the Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) on NASA?s Aqua satellite, red dots mark the location of actively burning fires that MODIS detected. The fires had been burning for several days before this image was collected on June 13, and the smoke was filling the skies over the Yellow Sea, the Korean Peninsula (top right), and approaching Japan (right edge). Jiangsu is an agricultural powerhouse in China, with large areas being cultivated much of the year. The widespread nature of the fires, their location, and the time of year suggest that these fires are being set intentionally for agricultural purposes. Although the fires are not necessarily immediately hazardous, such widespread burning can have a strong impact on weather, climate, human health, and natural resources.

Pollution over China
| Title |
Pollution over China |
| Description |
The MODIS sensor aboard NASA's Aqua satellite observed a heavy pall of pollution (gray pixels) over much of eastern China on February 19, 2003. The haze appears to be particularly thick over the Shaanxi and Henan provinces in the eastern central part of the country. Notice how the pollution tends to "pool" up around mountainous terrain in the higher resolution version of this scene. The various light brown hues show bare land surface, while the darker browns show vegetated landscapes. A heavy discharge of sediments into the Bo Hai Bay and western Yellow Sea are coloring the surface waters caramel. There are a few red dots in this scene, indicating the locations of active fires. The high-resolution image provided above is 500 meters per pixel. The MODIS Rapid Response System provides this image at MODIS' maximum spatial resolution of 250 meters.

Thick Smog over China
| Title |
Thick Smog over China |
| Description |
Skies over China have darkened in the past five decades, thanks to a nine-fold increase fossil-fuel emissions. In January 2006, Yun Qian and collaborators reported this finding in Geophysical Research Letters. According to the Associated Press, Qian stated that pollution absorbs and reflects sunlight, allowing less of it to reach China's urban areas. The Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) [ http://modis.gsfc.nasa.gov/ ] flying onboard the Aqua [ http://aqua.nasa.gov/ ] satellite captured this image on January 27, 2006. In this image, a thick plume of smog makes its way across the Yellow Sea towards Korea. To the east, cloud cover can be discerned by its bright white appearance, compared to the pollution's dingy gray.

Typhoon Matsa |
| Description |
Typhoon Matsa is shown here on the morning of August 2, 2005. This image was captured by the Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) on the Aqua satellite at 04:40 UTC (2:40 p.m. local time). The typhoon had only just been upgraded from a tropical storm at that time, with steady winds of around 120 kilometers per hour (75 miles per hour). It was not predicted to make landfall in the coming days, but isntead was predicted to travel northward into the Yellow Sea towards the Korean Peninsula and northern China. NASA image created by Jesse Allen, Earth Observatory, using data obtained from the MODIS Rapid Response team. |
