Summary

[edit]
Description
English: The fire season has started in Alaska, the northernmost state of the USA. According to the Alaska Bureau of Land Management, within the first days of the 2022 meteorological summer, more than 16,700 hectares have been affected by wildfires, the largest area since 2014. This image, acquired by one of the Copernicus Sentinel-3 satellites on 6 June 2022, shows multiple active wildfires in southwestern Alaska. Several of these fires were ignited because of a storm that generated nearly 5,000 lightning strikes between 4 and 5 June. The spatial and temporal resolution of the open satellite data supplied by the Copernicus Sentinel satellites allows the monitoring of the effects of wildfires across the world.
