NOAA Earth Satellite Data Supports California Wildfire Response

NOAA Earth Satellite Data Supports California Wildfire Response

As multiple wildfires began erupting across southern California on Tuesday, Jan. 7, 2025, devastating the Los Angeles area and prompting mass evacuations, National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) satellites were essential for monitoring the blazes. These satellites provided critical data on the challenging fire conditions that supported on-the-ground assessments and management efforts.
