Summary

Description
English: This image, acquired by one of the Copernicus Sentinel-3 satellites on 14 July 2021, shows the smoke cloud from North American wildfires covering part of the Davis Strait. As the image shows, the smoke generated by the hundreds of wildfires that are raging in Canada and the United States has travelled thousands of kilometres in just a few days. At 14:11 UTC on 14 July it had reached the west coast of Greenland. According to the Copernicus Atmosphere Monitoring Service (CAMS) forecasts, the smoke will continue to travel eastwards over the next few days and should reach the coast of Norway between 17 and 18 July. Data from Copernicus services provide forecasts on air quality updated every four hours for the whole world.
