- Title
Alaskan fires and Houston.
- Abstract
The article discusses the results of the study on the effects of forest fires in Alaska and Canada conducted by researchers from the U.S. National Aeronautics and Space Administration, Valparaiso University and Rice University. The study was based on a combination of satellite data, computer models and weather balloon readings. They sampled different trace gases and aerosols across North America, and tracked an air mass from the region of forest fires. They revealed that the ozone levels had increased with the arrival of pollutants associated with the forest fires.
