Ain't it great to be able to post from Matera, Italy?
Ray Rogers and I took photos of the smoke on the way out of BWI on Saturday evening and found that the layer seen in Saturday's post merged with the boundary layer just before Philadelphia. Thus they should have some increase of black carbon in NJ and NY.
Ed Eloranta's group has joined REALM and we are free to connect to UWisc images through the blog and the REALM website. Please inform those who use the UWisc data that Dr. Eloranta wishes to have a note sent to him when his data is used, what it is being used for, and what the results are.
Tom Duck told me that the Dalhousie group has received its first returns on Monday and Tuesday from Shebogue Point, Nova Scotia, and saw smoke from 3-6 km. They are extremely pleased and Dave Parrish of NOAA has seen the data.
Finally, the ash from the Fairbanks fire can definitely be seen by the UAlaska lidar of Ken Sassen....he said that he's shovelling it off the cover for his lidar.
Happy blogging.
