Title : A Panoramic View of the Emigrant Gap Fire, California
Caption :
These Multi-angle Imaging SpectroRadiometer (MISR) images of the Central Valley and the Sierra Nevada Mountains show several smoke plumes from wildfires burning throughout Northern California on August 13, 2001. The overview image represents an area of 336 kilometers by 332 kilometers, and was acquired by MISR 46-degree backward-looking camera. The most prominent plume arises from the Emigrant Gap Fire, located about 40 kilometers west of Lake Tahoe. The animated panorama uses different MISR cameras to enable this plume to be seen from multiple vantage points as the satellite flies overhead.
