WASHINGTON, July 22 (UPI) -- The U.S. space agency Tuesday unveiled a Web site that provides information about the impact of fires and smoke on Earth's climate and ecosystems.

The NASA "Fire and Smoke" Web site, www.nasa.gov/fires, includes regular updates of NASA images of fires and their associated smoke plumes in the United States and around the world, the agency said in a news release. It also has articles on the research results and multimedia resources from throughout NASA's agencies.

The National Aeronautics and Space Administration said the site is updated regularly with new images from NASA's Earth-observing satellites and airborne observatories, including the unmanned aircraft that pinpointed wildfire hot spots across California.
