Wildfires

For monitoring wildfires, data from space-based remote sensing satellites that perform imaging at a resolution of 250 - 1000 m in the thermal range of lengths can be used. On the basis of this data it is possible to identify coordinates of fire (thermal anomalies) in real-time. It can also be used for forecasting the development of wildfires (using meteorological data as well).

Types of work:
  • Detailed analysis of fire development;
  • Assessment of the total territory damaged with fire;
  • Economic damage assessment;
  • Planning of fire suppression works;
  • Identification of the pockets of burning peat, etc.
Information about the appearance and development of fires is supposed to be delivered to consumers at once and in most cases, information is accessed using a web-interface which contains a graphical representation of forest fires for the last 24 hours with geographic coordinates, date and time of fire detection, the detection probability, fire category and other background information. This service is implemented in a software product GEOmonitor «Sovzond»™.
