Spectral characteristics of infrared radiation from forest fires
Field experiments with man-made fires in a forest were conducted to verify fire warning products from satellite remote sensing techniques and to select more effective channels for producing these products. Pine branches and trunks as well as other woods were burned at a designated place in a pine-dominated forest to simulate wild forest fires when a satellite was passing over the sky. Infrared ...
متن کاملInvestigating Characteristics of Hospital Building Fires in Iran
Background: Building fires are the most common threatening and distressing hazard in hospitals. Fire is one of the top 10 hazards that threaten Iranian hospitals. Nevertheless, no study has been done on the features of fires in Iran hospitals. So, this study aimed to investigate the characteristics of fires taking place in Iranian hospitals. Materials and Methods: In this cross-sectional stu...
متن کاملReserves Protect against Deforestation Fires in the Amazon
BACKGROUND Reserves are the principal means to conserve forests and biodiversity, but the question of whether reserves work is still debated. In the Amazon, fires are closely linked to deforestation, and thus can be used as a proxy for reserve effectiveness in protecting forest cover. We ask whether reserves in the Brazilian Amazon provide effective protection against deforestation and conseque...
متن کاملDynamics of fire plumes and smoke clouds associated with peat and deforestation fires in Indonesia
[1] During the dry season, anthropogenic fires in tropical forests and peatlands of equatorial Asia produce regionally expansive smoke clouds that have important effects on atmospheric radiation and air quality. Here we estimated the height of smoke on Borneo and Sumatra and characterized its sensitivity to El Niño and regional drought. We used Multiangle Imaging Spectroradiometer (MISR) satell...
متن کاملCharacterization of Clouds, Fires and Smoke Plumes in Hyperspectral Images
Hyperspectral imaging (HSI) sensors have been used for more than a decade to aid in the detection and identification of diverse surface targets, topographical and geological features. Techniques for scene characterization can utilize individual or combinations of spectral bands to identify specific features in an image. This paper deals primarily with the problem of characterization of a partia...
