This image captures the hundreds of bushfires that are burning in Australia on the east coast. The image was taken on November 12, 2019 by Copernicus Sentinel-3. It shows the smoke from the fires which has drifted over the Tasman Sea. In this image, it is easy to see the smoke from the fires as it is overlaying the sea. This image is important because not only can you see the extend of the area over which these fires are burning, but you can see the different sources from where the fires are burning. The Copernicus Emergency Mapping Service also uses satellite images such as these to help respond to the fires and study these fires in order to see the impact they have on the emissions that they give off to the atmosphere.
