A heavy layer of haze hung over the landscape on May 10, 2012, when the Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) instrument on NASA’s Terra
satellite captured this view of northern China. Haze is common in this
region, an area where people rely on coal for electricity and heat, and
dust often blows in from the east. Numerous fires
burning west of Lake Baikal in recent weeks have likely exacerbated the
poor air quality in China. MODIS observed plumes of smoke billowing
into the air from wildfires on May 7, 2012,
and May 8 (above). According to the Russian news agency ITAR-TASS, more
than 72 fires were still burning nearly 23,000 hectares of forests in
Siberia on May 14.
