The “corridor” of thick #smoke (dark red shading) from record-breaking #wildfires in the #AmazonBasin continues to be trapped east of the #AndesMountains in #Peru, #Brazil & #Bolivia today 23 Aug, shown by #GOESEast #ABI aerosol optical depth (AOD). NOAA MetSul #AjudaRS Vitor Tavares

#GOESEast & #GOESWest #ABI is observing large, thick #smoke plumes (dark red) streaming northward from ongoing #wildfires in #Idaho & #Montana this morning 23 Aug. Fine particles (PM2.5) #AirQuality is degraded along the smoke's path north of #Boise. NOAA Satellites Idaho DEQ

#GOESEast #ABI aerosol optical depth (AOD) observed thick #smoke (AOD ≥0.7) covering an enormous area in central #SouthAmerica including #Bolivia & #Brazil this morning 26 Aug from ongoing #wildfires. Gaps in AOD due to clouds. NOAA Satellites MetSul #AjudaRS Vitor Tavares María del Carmen Cazorla

#VIIRS aerosol detection from Joint Polar Satellite System (JPSS) satellites highlights extent of thick #smoke (purple shading) east of the #AndesMountains covering much of #Bolivia & western #Brazil on 26 Aug, as record-breaking #wildfires continue in the #AmazonBasin. NOAA Satellites Phurbu

As of Wednesday afternoon 28 Aug, near real-time data flow is finally back to normal on the AerosolWatch website star.nesdis.noaa.gov/smcd/spb/aq/Ae…. We are in the process of backfilling missing imagery from yesterday 27 Aug. Thanks to our users for your patience.

Thick #smoke from the uncontained #WapitiFire in central #Idaho caused localized Hazardous (Code Maroon) daily fine particles (PM2.5) #AirQuality on 27 Aug, with USG (Code Orange) conditions extending to #Salmon. NOAA Satellites Joint Polar Satellite System (JPSS) Idaho DEQ airnow John Muyskens

Incredible expanse of thick #Amazon #wildfires #smoke (dark red shading) covering locations east of the #AndesMountains in #Bolivia, #Paraguay, #Peru & western #Brazil this morning 29 Aug, observed by #GOESEast #ABI aerosol optical depth (AOD).

Thick #smoke from #Idaho #wildfires, including uncontained #WapitiFire, blew to S & E on 29 Aug, degrading PM2.5 #AirQuality on its path thru #Wyoming & #Nebraska (Code Yellow) with Code Purple/Red/Orange near fires in #Boise & #Ketchum.

To our data users: Due to issues with our data access, GOES-East ABI GeoColor, dustRGB, and fireRGB images for the CONUS & Full Disk are periodically missing/delayed today 3 Sep on the AerosoWatch website star.nesdis.noaa.gov/smcd/spb/aq/Ae…. The imagery is slowing backfilling.

Immense “corridor of #smoke” (red shading) from historic #Amazon #wildfires covering #Colombia, #Ecuador, #Peru, #Brazil, #Bolivia & #Paraguay east of the #Andes, curving around southern coast of #Brazil today 3 Sep, shown by NOAA Satellites #GOESEast #ABI aerosol optical depth.

This morning 4 Sep, #smoke is degrading 1-hour average PM2.5 #AirQuality in the western US: locally near #wildfires in #Oregon & #Idaho (red/orange), and in eastern #Montana & #NorthDakota (maroon/purple/red) due to transport from Canadian wildfires. NOAA Satellites

To our data users: Issues with our center’s data ingest are continuing this morning 5 Sep, so #GOESEast & #GOESWest images are periodically delayed/missing on AerosolWatch star.nesdis.noaa.gov/smcd/spb/aq/Ae…. Our colleagues who manage the archive have been working hard to fix the issues.

Attention #GOESWest users: There was a data distribution outage from ~17:50 UTC on 4 Sep to ~01:00 UTC on 5 Sep, including all L1b (radiance bands) & L2 (derived products). Imagery on the AerosolWatch website is therefore missing during this time period. ospo.noaa.gov/data/messages/…
