Did you notice any hazy skies this week? 🌆
A massive smoke plume (the grey layer moving over France and Mediterranean) from the Canadian #wildfires reached Europe, seen here on 19 August between 06:00 - 18:00 UTC from our #MTGI1 satellite’s FCI instrument.
More info on the wildfires can be found at the copernicusecmwf website 🛰
*Please note: MTG-I1’s FCI imagery has been declared pre-operational after preliminary validation, however, this data is still undergoing testing and is not for operational use at this time*
