Summary[edit]
| Description |
English: GOES-15 (GOES-West) Visible (0.63 um) and Shortwave Infrared (3.9 um) images (above) showed the hot spot (dark black to yellow to red pixels) and the development of pulses of pyrocumulonimbus (pyroCb) clouds associated with a large wildfire located just to the west of Fort McMurray, Alberta (station identifier CYMM) on 03 May 2016. The fire caused a mandatory evacuation of the estimated 80,000 residents of the city (the largest fire-related evacuation in Alberta history). Note that the hourly surface plots indicated a temperature of 90 F (32.2 C) at 22-23 UTC — a new daily high temperature record of 32.6 C was set for Fort McMurray (time series plot of surface data). |
