Thick, blue-gray smoke hangs over Southeast Asia as the annual agricultural burning season continues. Scores of fires were detected by the modis.gsfc.nasa.gov Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) on the aqua.nasa.gov Aqua satellite during an overpass on March 24, 2004, and have been marked with red dots in the image. Countries shown are (clockwise from top left) Myanmar, China, Vietnam, Laos, Cambodia, and Thailand. The seawifs.gsfc.nasa.gov Sea-viewing Wide Field-of-view Sensor (SeaWiFS) captured earthobservatory.nasa.gov/NaturalHazards/natural_hazards_v2.php3?img_id=12023 an image of the smoke drifting far eastward over the South China Sea.
