Cooperative Institute for Meteorological Satellite Studies (CIMSS)
A good resource “CIMSS Satellite Blog” was discovered today – worthy of a post.
The latest entry on the CMISS blog includes “an animation of GOES-11 visible channel images shows large smoke plumes from the California wildfires being advected a significant distance (over 1000 miles) westward over the Pacific Ocean.”
This weekend, I had hoped to go to Figueroa Mountain and environs to photograph more fall colors, plants, seeds, etc., but decided that 50+ mph winds were not conducive to photography — or for driving on Chumash Highway or through Gaviota Pass. Just as well: a fire broke out at the foot of Figueroa Mountain.
I am thankful the Zaca fire was not accompanied by Santa Ana winds; I feel for residents to the south today.
