  1. Otto Hyvärinen FMI FMI, activities in Forest Fires

  2. Our operational services now Fire risk Fire detection

  3. Improvements to services • Fire risk • Better surface moisture and vegetation information • Severe fire risk • Better atmospheric components • Fire detection • use of MODIS instrument instead of AVHRR • in co-operation with VTT

  4. Things to be decided... • What is everybody doing? • What are the interfaces? • file formats? • where files go? • how can data/files be combined? • coordinates and map projections? • What is the time table for Task 6 for each individual subtask?

  5. "Data products" • Meteosat 8 / SEVIRI, HRV channel, area cropped to Scandinavia, 12 UTC • Format: HDF5, ca. 3 Mb • NOAA 16 / AVHRR, overpass nearest to 12 UTC, all channels, area cropped to Scandinavia • Format: HMF, ca. 90 Mb; Level 1b, ca. 60 Mb • EOS-TERRA / MODIS, morning overpass, 250m channels and geolocation data • Format: HDF-EOS, ca. 800 Mb • MODIS fire product, morning overpass • Format: HDF-EOS

  6. "Image products" • Meteosat 8 / SEVIRI image, JPEG • NOAA/AVHRR image, JPEG • Growing degree-days • 10 days cumulative rain by rain gauges • 12 hour cumulative rain by weather radar • Soil moisture • Sea surface temperature for Baltic Sea • Fire risk • Forest fires from MODIS fire product.
