Detailed information

Product description:	A DevCoCast product, the Fire Detection Product represents a set of products such as fire occurrence in individual states, occurrence in the South American countries, maps of fire risk, and smoke estimate and dispersion. Fire maps are derived from the NOAA 3.7um thermal band, MODIS and GOES thermal bands (especially band 2 on GOES and bands 20 and 21 on MODIS). Maps of Fire Risk are derived from the number of days without precipitation, air relative humidity, air temperature, distance of fire spots, and class of vegetation (predicted fire risk maps uses forecast modeling). Smoke estimate and dispersion products show carbon monoxide and other pollutants emitted by the fire spots. The model receives as input the AVHRR, GOES and MODIS fire observations and takes into account the type of vegetation being burned.
