CALIFORNIA - NASA recently showed haze visible from satellite observations in space. Through the camera shots Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) mounted on NASA's Terra satellite, visible thick smoke that enveloped the sky above the island of Sumatra, Indonesia.
Visibleearth.nasa.gov website reported, the satellite captures images of streams of smoke over South Sumatra. The existence of the red dot indicates a high temperature, which is the point of fire.
Smoke colored gray in the photo indicate air pollution and health warnings for residents in the region. In fact, the smoke spread to contaminate the air in neighboring countries.
MODIS sensor camera belonging to the US space agency to monitor the appearance of smoke began early September 2015. Scientists continue to monitor forest fires in the region until the rainy season which is predicted to arrive in late October 2015.
The drought is currently the longest in Indonesia. The strength of the El Nino phenomenon in the Pacific Ocean impact on rising sea surface temperatures.
Explained through the website Bmkg.go.id, under normal climatic conditions, sea surface temperatures around Indonesia (equatorial western Pacific) generally warm and easy-going process of evaporation and rain clouds easily formed. However, when the El Nino phenomenon occurs when sea surface temperatures in the Pacific equatorial central and eastern warmed, it waters around Indonesia generally decreasing temperature.
As a result, a change in the air mass circulation rates to minimize the formation of rain clouds in Indonesia.
