Alaska Fire Particles Traverse Parts of Canada and the United States (June 29, 2004, through July 19, 2004)
Aerosols created by fires in Alaska and Canada waft over the United States. These images from the TOMS instrument show levels of the absorbing aerosol particles (airborne microscopic dust/smoke). More information on the TOMS instrument can be viewed at (http://toms.gsfc.nasa.gov/index.html).
