Updated calculations carried out by a team of atmosphere and climate scientists at NILU show that smoke from the forest fires in Canada is still drifting in over Norway.
The figure shows active fires (in red, from MODIS and VIIRS satellite instruments) and gray smoke plumes on June 4th over Canada and the USA. The white areas are regions with cloud-cover. (Image created using NASA Worldview.)
In the updated simulation, the smoke emission from Canada is shown as a cloud moving over a world map. The different colors of the cloud tell the amount of particles the cloud contains. The yellow areas of the cloud signal where there are the most soot particles in the air.
