Global Smoke Forecast Visualization (Daily Updated)

This daily global wildfire smoke visualization uses NASA's GEOS-FP model to show smoke transport patterns from yesterday through four days ahead. The visualization shows wildfire smoke intensity based on brown carbon aerosol optical depth, using a 0-1 scale with colors ranging from light brown/red to dark brown. Wildfire smoke contains dangerous PM2.5 particles and can travel thousands of miles, making tracking essential for understanding air quality impacts.Originally published at https://svs.gsfc.nasa.gov/5624/.
