Instrument:
|
Earth Probe/TOMS

Description:
|
Normal Aerosol levels, June 21, 2004
|
|
Abstract:
|
Wildfires started by lightning burned more than 80,000 acres in Alaska in June 2004. The effects of these fires can be seen across North America with the Total Ozone Mapping Spectrometer (TOMS) instrument on the Earth Probes spacecraft. TOMS detects the presence of UV-absorbing tropospheric aerosols across the globe.
