Today’s NOAA Hazard Mapping System (HMS) Fire and Smoke Product (below) indicates widespread fire activity across Central America and Mexico. Each red dot on the map represents a “hotspot” identified by satellites.
To see if there is any smoke associated with the fire activity, we can consult the MODIS true color imagery. Today’s Terra MODIS image in Google Earth shows smoke along the southern Guatemalan coast (below on left). Smoke appears as a diffuse grey feature in the true color image; clouds are bright white. Both smoke and clouds are evident in today’s true color image of Guatemala. There also appears to be a significant amount of smoke mixed with clouds in western Columbia (below on right).
