Smoke Description

Descriptive text narrative for smoke/dust observed in satelite imagery through June 18, 2024, 7:05 p.m.

SMOKE:
Midwestern and Eastern United States/Great Lakes Region/Atlantic Seaboard - A large area of light density remnant smoke attributed to a combination of smoke from several various sources continue to be observed covering much of Midwestern and Eastern regions of the United States, including the Great lakes area and the Northern portion of the Atlantic Seaboard. As the evening progressed, cloud coverage obscured the Southern portion of the Atlantic Seaboard.

Northern California - A plume of moderate to heavy localized density smoke, attributed to a wildfire located northwest of Sacramento was observed continuing its dispersal towards the South. A thick pocket of smoke was observed extending South into the Pacific Ocean.

New Mexico/Missouri/Arkansas - Two fast growing wildfires located in a south-central New Mexico tribal reservation were observed emitting large plumes of moderate to heavy density smoke that were seen dispersing northeast in direction. Since the morning smoke report, a lite to moderate density plume of smoke was observed extending past the central region of Kansas and into western Missouri and Northwestern Arkansas.

FAQs

What is the smoke in the atmosphere from wildfires? ›

The Science of Wildfire Smoke

The gases emitted by wildfires, such as carbon dioxide and carbon monoxide, contribute to air pollution and climate change. Carbon dioxide is a greenhouse gas that traps heat in the atmosphere, leading to global warming.

Show Me More ›

How high does wildfire smoke travel? ›

Wildfire fire smoke can ascend as high as 5 miles into the atmosphere¹, reaching the troposphere which is the lowest part of the atmosphere where thunderstorms form. The specific height can vary depending on various factors, such as the strength of the fire, weather conditions, and the surrounding terrain.

Learn More ›

How does wildfire smoke affect the environment? ›

In addition to contaminating the air with toxic pollutants, wildfires also simultaneously impact the climate by releasing large quantities of carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases into the atmosphere.

Read The Full Story ›

How do wildfires affect the area? ›

Wildfires Can Affect Infrastructure

Smoke from wildfires can adversely affect regional crops, soil compositions, and vegetation, including wine grapes. Additionally, smoke, soot, and debris deposition in elevated areas can disrupt snowpack development, alter wind patterns, and exacerbate runoff during future storms.

What does wildfire smoke do to your lungs? ›

Many of the particles in wildfire smoke are no larger than one third the diameter of your hair. These particles are so small that they enter and lodge deep in the lungs. Particle pollution triggers asthma attacks, heart attacks and strokes—and can kill.

Learn More ›

Can smoke in the air cause rain? ›

Clouds of smoke don't necessarily bring clouds of rain. Researchers have found that heavy smoke over the Amazon River Basin interferes with the formation of clouds. This can reduce or delay rainfall, two teams report in the 27 February issue of Science, and it can make the storms that do occur more violent.

Get More Info Here ›

Can planes fly in wildfire smoke? ›

While smoke can certainly reduce visibility, it can also present other hazards that pilots and flight crews need to be aware of. One of the biggest risks associated with flying in heavy smoke is the potential damage it can cause to aircraft engines.

How long does smoke stay in the air after a wildfire? ›

Smoke from forest fires can linger in the atmosphere for a couple of weeks as it spreads. While in the air the smoke particles chemically react with trace radicals – molecules with unpaired electrons – to undergo a process known as oxidation.
