South Fork and Salt Fires Burn During the Night
The South Fork Fire and Salt Fire in central New Mexico have both erupted in size since yesterday, releasing large smoke plumes into the atmosphere. Suomi-NPP was able to utilize the Day/Night band last night to capture the bright burning hotspots of the fires, as well as the smoke plume illuminated by moonlight.
