Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) - MODIS fire team is developing the scientific basis for remote sensing of fire and fire products using MODIS. Data is intended to detect fires, to estimate the rate of emission of radiative energy from the fire, and to estimate the fraction of biomass burned in the smoldering phase

NASA: Total Ozone Mapping Spectrometer (TOMS) Aerosol Index - The TOMS is the first instrument to allow observation of aerosols as the particles cross the land/sea boundary. Using these data it is possible to observe a wide range of phenomena such as desert dust storms and vegetation fires (daily global updates)
