Using Current Satellite Imaging: California Fire and Smoke

A good use satellite imaging for Current Events, Science, and general conversation. More details below:

Teachers can share these amazing images with colleagues and students. As you can see, there is a small image that shows the area that the GOES-11 satellite covers. The larger image is the California fire and smoke areas. You can see the smoke from the fires that are blown west onto the Pacific Ocean. More specifically, you can see the rotation of Earth.

You can subscribe to a NOAA newsletter that shows the Daily Operational Significant Event. I am particularly interested in Dust Storms. I have collected these images since the last century. You will see some very cool images of Volcanoes, Hurricanes, Fires and many other major events from the perspective of our weather satellites.
