Aura Science : Data and Images : 2008

MODIS/OMI Fires in California
California fires as seen from MODIS and OMI
Smoke from the recent outbreak of fires in Southern California can clearly be seen via NASA satellites.
Aleutians Eruption
OMI captured the SO2 cloud in 2 consecutive orbits of the eruption in the Aleutians.
NO2 in mid Aug

Air Quality during the Olympics
Restrictions were put on traffic and power plants to improve air quality in Beijing during the Olympics. OMI makes daily measurements of the total column of SO2 and NO2.

Okmok eruption
Sulfur dioxide measurements from the Ozone Monitoring Instrument (OMI) on Aura permitted tracking of the eruption cloud in near real-time.
Springtime OMI Measurements of BrO
Despite its low atmospheric abundance, bromine monoxide (BrO) plays an important role in the chemistry of the atmosphere because it is a catalyst of the ozone destruction.
Chaiten volcano Eruption
The Chaiten volcano eruption in southern Chile caught local authorities by surprise as experts say it has been dormant for at least 450 years.

Llaima Volcano Eruption
The Llaima Volcano is one of Chile's most active volcanoes and has frequent but moderate eruptions. An eruption on January 1, 2008 forced the evacuation of hundreds of people from nearby villages.
