      My question concerns CO overlay. Currently New York, Chicago, and some wildfires give red intensity.
      Could we have indication of CO origin ? Like, pollution, wildfire, raffinerie, ...

        CO layer on Windy is provided by NASA Terra satellites. The satellite sensors measure the CO concentration and allow to visualize the areas where there is a higher concentration. But the satellite is not able to identify the origin. On its part Windy does not interpret data and thus cannot give more details about CO sources.

        For wild fires:
