Real-time Detection of Fires Over Central South America

Listed in NASA Earthdata CMR

The Fire Product: "Real-time Detection of Fires Over Central South America" was part of the International Geosphere-Biosphere Programme Data and Information System (IGBP-DIS) Regional Satellite Fire Data Compilation CD-ROM.

Description

DSA/INPE detects vegetation fires processing AVHRR images of the NOAA-series USA meteorological satellites. NOAA satellite altitude is about 850 km, where a full orbit around the globe takes some 102 minutes.

The orbits are almost perpendicular to the equator (98 degrees of inclination) and, as the satellite advances, a strip of about 2,700 km is imaged. These images are received daily and processed in real-time by DSA/INPE from 1 June until 30 November. The data set includes: (1) daily maps of identified fires, in the form of GIF formatted images.

(2) geographical coordinates of the detected fires. Data have been available since 1989. For specific requests, users need to contact INPE (gonzalo@yabae.cptec.inpe.br).

(3) quick looks of NOAA 12 and NOAA 14 images, in the form of GIF formatted images
