Nitrogen dioxide (NO2) air pollution from the Palisades fire as observed by NASA TEMPO on Tues Jan 7th 😢 Plume is much larger in magnitude than all fossil-fuel combustion from LA during the same time. Can't even imagine the on-the-ground devastation.

Looking forward to welcoming #AGU24 attendees to my adopted hometown of DC next week! Here's the NO2 pollution NASA TEMPO observed in DC over the past year. Anything green, yellow, orange, or red is likely above the WHO guideline of 5 ppb for an annual average (1x10^15 molec/cm2 ~ 2 ppb).

In preparation of the AGU mtg in 2 weeks, I've been making some TEMPO NO2 animations using the Beta data. Here's an animation for the most polluted ozone day in the mid-Atlantic last summer (Aug 1, 2024). Also can see wildfires out West and most of the largest cities. I could stare at this all day!
