The Canadian fires smoke map Technically, in well under a minute, we’ve created a map showing the spread of smoke from Canada’s fires. Because the layer is time-enabled, a time slider automatically appears that allows us to play or step through the time intervals in the forecast. View ...
Until now,the interactive atlasdid not show climate change projections for Indigenous communities. Only Canadian urban centres were included. The newly-launched feature provides information about the impacts of climate change on 634 First Nations communities and 53 Inuit communities, while also profiling...
We present a space-based retrieval of tropospheric ethane based on thermal infrared radiance observations from the CrIS satellite sensor onboard Suomi-NPP. Spectral detection of ethane is first demonstrated using plume observations downwind of the January 2020 Australian wildfires. Other ethane enhancements...
