From the Arctic down to Florida, an unprecedented smoke plume is crossing North America, due to 188 currently active fires. Ninety-six of them are out of control, and the consequence is visible in this Sentinel 5 map of Aerosol Index captured on May 31.

#Minnesota lake water clarity trends 1985-2022. Notice hot spots of decreasing water clarity in agricultural areas and in fairly pristine northern Minnesota potentially due to increasing temperature. Improving clarity in the Twin Cities potentially due to BMPs.
