2010 - Iraq
During military activities in Iraq, OSEI program analysts collected imagery of Iraq and the Persian Gulf area for the period from March 23, 2003 through April 15, 2003. The visible channels on AVHRR, METEOSAT, and MODIS were able to detect smoke from burning oil wells, airborne sand from sandstorms, and airplane contrails. The thermal infrared channels on the AVHRR and MODIS detected hot spots from oil wells and other fires.
