Re: Tuesday, September 26, 2006
I recommend the GEOMAC wildfire viewer (http://geomac.usgs.gov/viewer/viewer.htm), which is linked off the Ojai Post's overview page. Use the menu to jump to the Day fire. Then check the "MODIS thermal satellite" layer and refresh the map to see where the fire is actively burning. One thing I haven't been able to figure out is how recent the data is. The documentation says when the data is gathered, but not when the satellite actually imaged a particular area. Anyway, it's a good visualization of what's going on. Lots more at the MODIS rapid response system (http://rapidfire.sci.gsfc.nasa.gov/).
