Smoke from fires in Indonesia


Smoke from fires in Indonesia, 29-September-97

Earth Probe TOMS has been detecting smoke from the fires in Indonesia and other areas in the South Pacific during 1997 and 1998. You can view images of the smoke by following the links below. Since Earth Probe TOMS does not have full global coverage, these images were created by compositing 2 days worth of data in 1998 (when the orbit was boosted up to 740 km) and by 3 days worth of data in 1997 (when the orbit was at 500 km). The largest amount of data comes from the date specified on the image. The links below indicate the last day of data used for each image.

The images for 1998 start in early February. NOTE: By April 22, the fires had diminished enough that smoke levels are now near the threshold we've been using in these images. If the fire levels increase, we will start posting more images.
