Indonesia fire haze hit Cambodia last month
Despite the Cambodian government’s uncertainty last month, US satellite imagery has confirmed that haze from Indonesian peat fires that has bedevilled the region did in fact reach Cambodia in October, with haze from local forest fires likely to succeed it as the dry season progresses, according to an expert’s analysis.
Dr Veerachai Tanpipat, an independent researcher based in Thailand who has worked alongside NASA scientists since 1999, said on 5 November that his team made the determination by analysing satellite imagery from NASA, NOAA and the US Naval Research Laboratory.
