Wildfires and Controlled Fires Burn Together in Northern Australia Australia (HDW) September 6, 2004 -
Fires, marked in red, are scattered around Australia's
Northern Territory in this true-color Aqua MODIS image from September
3, 2004. While many of these fires are likely part of a planned, controlled
burning program, others are also wildfires. Many of the fires send clouds
of blue-grey smoke into the sky; the smoke floats up, then in an upper
layer of the atmosphere, winds begin carrying the smoke off to the northwest.
Much of the region is characterized by tropical savannas: eucalypt forests
growing over a floor of grasses. |
