In July 2013, an intense heat wave in central Russia fueled an outbreak of wildfire in the taiga forests of Siberia. The Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) aboard NASA’s Aqua satellite captured this image of thick smoke from the fires over the Khanty-Mansiyskiy and Yamal-Nenetskiy districts of Russia on July 29, 2013. Red outlines indicate hot spots where MODIS detected unusually warm surface temperatures associated with fire. The image is centered near 68.9° East longitude and 61.5° North latitude near Khanty-Mansiysk.

Wildfires and Smoke across central Russia

acquired July 25, 2013 download large image (15 MB, JPEG, 12000x8000)

In July 2013, an intense heat wave in central Russia fueled an outbreak of wildfire in the taiga forests of Siberia. The Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) aboard NASA’s Aqua satellite captured this image of smoke billowing from large fires in the Khanty-Mansiyskiy and Yamal-Nenetskiy districts of Russia on July 25, 2013. Red outlines indicate hot spots where MODIS detected unusually warm surface temperatures associated with fire. The image is centered near 65.5° East longitude and 64.5° North latitude. About 34 wildfires were burning in Khanty-Mansiyskiy and 56 in Yamalo-Nenetskiy in late-July, according to the ITAR-TASS news agency. The fires blanketed the region in a thick layer of smoke, as seen in this image acquired by the instrument on July 29, 2013.
