NASA satellites show how the Wildfire crisis is done

Southern California Wild fires continue to burn along the Los Angeles County and show that new satellite images provide fuel for the flames of the latest weather.

According to NASA LANDSATS, in late 2024, the hot and dry weather in Los Angeles were hung to the vegetation and the quick spread of this fire.

The biggest fires initial On January 7, LA was destroyed, including Pacific Palisades and Altadena. Fires spread quickly due to dry conditions and strong winds from the east These fires were flying throughout the city New flames opened.

According to Cal fireThe two largest fire – Palisadadadadas and Etaon fires – 98% and 99%, respectively. Together, two knives burned 37,000 (150 square kilometers). Satellite footage offers a retrospective look that is planted with the latest climatological trends of seeds of fires.

At the University of California, the team of researchers in Los Angeles, ruminate Establishing a vegetation between 2022 and 2024, after the above-mentioned dry conditions, the Los Angeles County made a giant Tinderbox.

2022 and 2023 were especially ages for Southern California; According to a NASA Earth Observatory releaseAccording to the information until 1877, the rain for Downtown la downtown la, was twice as much every two years.

Are the atmospheric rivers regular events On the west coast, especially in the Pacific Northwest. Atmospheric rivers, 1.245 miles (more than 2,000 kilometers) are a long and 620 miles (1000 km) corridors of air extraction NASA’s Global Hydrometeorological Research Council. Rivers often pour rain in an area during a period of time, often cause Flood and landslide.

However, humidity was shown on the map above, moisture also extinguished the thirst of plants. In the summer of 2024, in some areas of the city, up to 30% of the average of up to 30% of the average of 30% vegetation. declared In July, California wild fires were a moderate amount of vegetation as fuel for fuel.

In the second half of 2024, the conditions changed rapidly. The region is dried, in turn, spreading all vegetation and spread in heavy rain. According to Los Angeles TimesIn January 2024, the period since 2025 was the second most of the second largest with the record of 1877.

The soil drying on the map above is put naked. The map shows the levels of soil, relative to the normal position in the top 40 inches of the most plants in the most kiosks. The map reflects the soil moisture conditions in January 7 – the two largest wildfires in the day began.

Maps are a reminder that although the fires are sudden and surprising, the conditions in the ground were hung for disaster. As much as much as much as much as much as much as you can change are more commonOf course, if the satellites are in the corner of research and a disaster, we are very noticeable to warn as many warning.
