This daily image is derived from a geostationary image of Aerosol Optical Depth (AOD), which is a measure of the amount of particles in the atmosphere (dust, smoke, pollution). These particles block sunlight by absorbing or by scattering light, affecting the amount of energy that reaches plants for their use in photosynthesis.

Click on the colored circle locations to see time series of AQI observations. Air Quality Index (AQI) is an index from the US Environmental Protection Agency made up of ozone and particle pollution from cars, buses, trucks and fire emissions as well as industrial activity. The worse the air quality, the more important it is to take breaks, do less intense activities, and watch for symptoms.
