From space, the yellowish brown dust plumes and whiter smoke plumes are visible. SeaWiFS keeps a ever vigal eye on the Earth, but not only does it see smoke, fires, and vegetation, it also sees the ever changing oceans. Please take a few minutes and see the wonder of what is our home, Earth. -

A
satellite
can
cover
the
Amazon
in
just
two
months.
The
mapping
team
chose
a
Japanese
satellite
outfitted
with
synthetic
aperture
radar,
or
SAR
for
short.
SAR
is
a
natural
fit
for
the
Amazon.
It
can
penetrate
the
clouds
that
pour
rain
for
half
of
the
year
and
the
smoke
from
trees
burned
by
farmers
to
clear
land.
SAR
even
works
at
night.
As
you
might
imagine,
the
satellite
collects
a
pile
of
data.
