Satellite Forest Fire Detection

Each satellite has unique detection and data refresh capabilities.

Satellite forest fire detection. Sentinel 1 radar data processing for weekly change detection clear cuts windfalls. For low cost sensor data a correction equation is also applied to mitigate bias in the sensor data. Goes west imagery 30 minutes. The fire and smoke map shows fine particulate 2 5 micron pm 2 5 pollution data obtained from air quality monitors and sensors information is shown on both the epa s air quality index scale using the nowcast aqi algorithm and also as hourly pm 2 5 concentration values.

To view the most complete information about a specific potential fire select all satellite data available. Nasa lance fire information for resource management system provides near real time active fire data from modis and viirs to meet the needs of firefighters scientists and users interested in monitoring fires. Forest and grassland fire detection from sentinel 5p satellite imagery. Satellite fire detection data displayed on these maps are provided by the usda forest service geospatial technology and applications center nasa goddard space flight center direct readout laboratory nasa modis rapid repsonse system noaa nesdis satellite analysis branch univeristy of wisconsin space science and engineering center and the.

The exact location of a fire may differ depending on the spatial resolution of the data set from which the fire detection pixel originates with spatial offsets typically ranging from. As noted by brad quayle program lead for the disturbance assessment. Automated clear cut detection from sentinel 2 satellite imagery. Automated clear cut detection from sentinel 1 satellite imagery.

Fire detection point data describe the center latitude longitude coordinates of the corresponding satellite pixel in which a potential fire event was detected. The modis and viirs thermal layers are created from the modis satellite detection system and represents hot spots that could be potential fire locations in the last 24 hour period at a horizontal resolution of 1 km and temporal resolution of 1 to 2 days. Using the map below you can view potential fire detection data provided by these six satellites as they monitor the state of california from space. Fire data is available for download or can be viewed through a map interface.

Real time satellite fire monitoring goes west. Imagery available about 25 minutes later. Forest service uses firms data as an integral component of its active fire mapping program which provides near real time detection and characterization of wildland fire conditions in a geospatial context for the continental united states alaska hawaii and canada.
