A global view of Smoke Intensity estimated by Black Carbon Column Mass Density from NASA’s Goddard Earth Observing System Forward Processing (GEOS-FP), developed by the Global Modeling and Assimilation Office (GMAO), reveals the remarkable scale of smoke transport from the record-breaking 2023 Canadian wildfire season. From May 31 – July 7, 2023, smoke from Canadian wildfires is seen traveling thousands of miles across continents and oceans, highlighting how wildfire smoke can impact air quality far beyond its source.
