Summary

Description
English: The skies of Northern India are currently engulfed in a thick layer of fog, making for low visibility conditions and causing major disruptions to travel. The dense fog, visible in this image taken by the Copernicus Sentinel-3 satellite, has resulted in flight delays and cancellations at airports in the region, as well as delays for trains. Many commuters have reported delays of several hours, with some trains running 8-10 hours behind schedule. The fog has also caused hazardous driving conditions, with visibility limited to just a few feet in some areas. The data collected by Copernicus Sentinel-3 satellites can be used for a wide range of applications, including monitoring the Earth's oceans and land surfaces, tracking the movement of glaciers and ice sheets, monitoring the health of forests and crops, and providing data for weather forecasting and climate modelling.
