Controlled burns were the cause, but increasing aridity has upped the odds that any ignition will blow up into a large blaze. Read on below. wildfires
So these two blazes — which are being battled by nearly 4,000 personnel and together are approaching three times the size of the City of Los Angeles — could be a preview of a horrible burning season to come.The sheer immensity of fires like this is difficult to comprehend. Saying that a blaze is larger than this or that city may help. But seeing truly is believing.
The visualization offers a virtual flyover of the blaze using light gathered by the satellite sensors in the visible and infrared portions of the spectrum, along with topographic information to provide a simulated 3-D view:at the southern end of the Sangre de Cristo Mountains. It passes over Interstate-25 and then into the mountains, where charcoal-colored areas reveal scorched landscape.
The blaze began on April 17 and ultimately burned nearly 60,000 acres before being fully contained on May 13 — the very day that the Sentinel satellite captured the imagery data I used to create the virtual flyover. It's located at the eastern edge of the mountains, about 28 miles across the Sangre de Cristo Mountains from the city of Taos. From this point, the visualization retreats back south and eventually finishes at the starting point.
