Satellite imagery for studying smoke effects

This article from September, 2020 describes uses of satellite imagery to study the spread of smoke from wildfires. It showed the GOES West satellite to show fires in Oregon. GOES is the commonly used weather satellite. It has a low resolution and covers the entire hemisphere in a number of electromagnetic bands to emphasize clouds and water in the atmosphere.

I am certain that this year, 2021, will show even more extensive smoke due to the greater number of wildfires.
