Smoke typically mixes with particles and gases from other sources, such as industry, vehicles, domestic fires (heating and cooking), fireworks, and dust storms, to form the haze, though scientists consider stubble burning to be a major factor.<\/p>\n<p>In some ways, the seasonal timing of stubble fires in 2025 followed typical patterns. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nasa.gov\/general\/what-is-air-quality\/\" rel=\"noopener\">Air quality<\/a> deteriorated in Delhi and several other cities for about a month after crop fires intensified during the last week of October, explained <a href=\"https:\/\/science.gsfc.nasa.gov\/sci\/bio\/hiren.t.jethva\" rel=\"noopener\">Hiren Jethva<\/a>, a Morgan State University atmospheric scientist based at NASA\u2019s Goddard Space Flight Center. For about a decade, Jethva has tracked the stubble burning season in India using satellites, and has made <a href=\"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1038\/s41598-019-52799-x\" rel=\"noopener\">predictions<\/a> about the intensity of the upcoming fire season based on vegetation observations.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>The <a href=\"https:\/\/modis.gsfc.nasa.gov\/about\/\" rel=\"noopener\">MODIS<\/a> (Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer) on NASA\u2019s <a href=\"http:\/\/aqua.nasa.gov\/\" rel=\"noopener\">Aqua<\/a> satellite captured this image of a smoky haze darkening skies over much of the plain on November 11, 2025. According to news reports, it was the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.newindianexpress.com\/cities\/delhi\/2025\/Nov\/12\/aqi-spikes-to-428-in-first-severe-air-day-of-this-year-grap-iii-invoked-in-capital\" rel=\"noopener\">first<\/a> of several days in 2025 when pollution levels exceeded 400 on India\u2019s <a href=\"https:\/\/cpcb.nic.in\/displaypdf.php?id=bmF0aW9uYWwtYWlyLXF1YWxpdHktaW5kZXgvQWJvdXRfQVFJLnBkZg==\" rel=\"noopener\">air quality index<\/a>, the strongest rating on the scale. As in past years, the poor air quality prompted officials in some areas to <a href=\"https:\/\/timesofindia.indiatimes.com\/city\/chandigarh\/in-jind-police-launch-crackdown-on-stubble-burning-schools-shut-for-class-1-to-5-students\/articleshow\/125334009.cms\" rel=\"noopener\">close schools<\/a> and institute more stringent air quality controls on <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pib.gov.in\/PressReleasePage.aspx?PRID=2188873\" rel=\"noopener\">construction<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>However, the daily timing of burning departs from what Jethva has seen in the past. He started tracking the number of fires years ago by primarily tallying observations from MODIS\u2014which pass over locations on Earth each morning and afternoon on the Terra and Aqua satellites, respectively. Then, most fires were lit in the early afternoon between 1 p.m. and 2 p.m. local time.<\/p>\n<p>But in the past few years, stubble fires have occurred progressively later in the day, Jethva said. He identified the shift by analyzing observations from <a href=\"https:\/\/nmsc.kma.go.kr\/enhome\/html\/base\/cmm\/selectPage.do?page=satellite.gk2a.intro\" rel=\"noopener\">GEO-KOMPSAT-2A<\/a>, a South Korean <a href=\"https:\/\/science.nasa.gov\/learn\/basics-of-space-flight\/chapter5-1\/#:~:text=Geosynchronous%20orbit\" rel=\"noopener\">geostationary<\/a> satellite launched in late 2018 that collects data every 10 minutes.<\/p>\n<p>Most stubble fires now happen between 4 p.m. and 6 p.m., he said, meaning that fire-monitoring systems that rely solely on MODIS, or similar sensors like <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nesdis.noaa.gov\/our-satellites\/currently-flying\/joint-polar-satellite-system\/visible-infrared-imaging-radiometer-suite-viirs\" rel=\"noopener\">VIIRS<\/a> (Visible Infrared Imaging Radiometer Suite), miss many of the fires. \u201cFarmers have changed their behavior,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>His <a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/hjethva05\/status\/1993358429302169860\/photo\/1\">analysis<\/a> of GEO-KOMPSAT-2A observations indicates that the stubble burning activity in Punjab and Haryana was moderate in 2025 compared to other recent years. This year had higher numbers of fires compared to 2024, 2020, and 2019 but fewer fires than 2023, 2022, and 2021, <a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/hjethva05\/status\/1995228658261245977\/photo\/2\">he found<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Indian Space Research Organization researchers have also pointed out the shift in the timing of stubble burning. In a <em><a href=\"https:\/\/www.currentscience.ac.in\/Volumes\/129\/10\/0921.pdf\" rel=\"noopener\">Current Science<\/a><\/em> study published in 2025, one group reported that <a href=\"https:\/\/www.eumetsat.int\/meteosat-second-generation\" rel=\"noopener\">MSG<\/a> (Meteosat Second Generation) satellite observations showed a shift in peak fire activity from about 1:30 p.m. in 2020 to about 5:00 p.m. in 2024. In December 2025, researchers with the International Forum for Environment, Sustainability, &amp; Technology (iForest) released a multi-satellite <a href=\"https:\/\/iforest.global\/event\/stubble-burning-status-report\/\" rel=\"noopener\">analysis<\/a> that came to a similar conclusion.<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, parsing out precisely how much stubble fires contribute to poor air quality in Delhi compared to other sources of pollution remains a topic of active study and debate among scientists. \u201cStudies report contributions ranging from 10 to 50 percent,\u201d said <a href=\"https:\/\/science.gsfc.nasa.gov\/sci\/bio\/pawan.gupta\" rel=\"noopener\">Pawan Gupta<\/a>, a NASA research scientist who specializes in air quality.<\/p>\n<p>Gupta estimates that the stubble burning contribution ranges from 40 to 70 percent on a given day, dropping to 20 to 30 percent if averaged over a month or burning season, and under 10 percent if averaged annually. \u201cMeteorological conditions\u2014like a shallow boundary layer height and low temperature\u2014during the burning season add extra complexity,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>The timing of the fires may influence the degree to which stubble burning affects air quality. Some <a href=\"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1039\/D5EA00052A\" rel=\"noopener\">modeling research<\/a> suggests that evening fires may lead to a stronger overnight buildup of particle pollution than early-afternoon fires because the <a href=\"https:\/\/skybrary.aero\/articles\/planetary-boundary-layer\" rel=\"noopener\">planetary boundary layer<\/a>, the lowest part of the atmosphere, tends to be shallower and have weaker winds at night, allowing pollutants to accumulate.<\/p>\n<div style=\"height:30px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n<p><em>NASA Earth Observatory image by Michala Garrison, using MODIS data from NASA <a href=\"https:\/\/www.earthdata.nasa.gov\/data\/projects\/lance\" data-type=\"link\" data-id=\"https:\/\/www.earthdata.nasa.gov\/data\/projects\/lance\" rel=\"noopener\">EOSDIS LANCE<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/worldview.earthdata.nasa.gov\/\" data-type=\"link\" data-id=\"https:\/\/worldview.earthdata.nasa.gov\/\" rel=\"noopener\">GIBS\/Worldview.<\/a> Story by Adam Voiland.<\/em><\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>References and Resources<\/strong><\/h2>\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Biswal, A., <em>et al.<\/em> (2025) <a href=\"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1039\/D5EA00052A\" data-type=\"link\" data-id=\"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1039\/D5EA00052A\" rel=\"noopener\">Emission time and amount of crop residue burning play critical role on PM<sub>2.5<\/sub> variability during October\u2013November in northwestern India during 2022\u20132024<\/a>. <em>Environmental Science: Atmospheres, 11.<\/em> <\/li>\n<li>Burki, T.
