Haze lingered in California's San Joaquin Valley on |
|
December 16, 2007. The Moderate Resolution Imaging |
|
Spectroradiometer modis.gsfc.nasa.gov/ (MODIS) flying on |
|
NASA's terra.nasa.gov/ Terra satellite captured this |
|
image the same day. In this picture, gray haze fills much |
|
of the valley west of the Sierra Nevada. Sporadic clouds |
|
float overhead, and thick clouds also appear on either |
|
side of the valley. In the east, cloud cover blends with |
|
snow cover on the mountains. |

A December 13, 2007, posting on the alg.umbc.edu/usaq/ |
|
U.S. Air Quality-Smog Blog at the University of Maryland, |
|
Baltimore County, described air quality in central |
|
California in the unhealthy range. Three days later, when |
|
MODIS acquired this image, the haze remained. |
