  1. GOFC/GOLD - FireRequirements for Fire Observations

  2. Requirements and Status

  3. Fire Observations • Near Real Time (15 mins) for Regional Fire Control and Air Quality Management • Temporal Summaries for Fire and Ecosystem Management, National Reporting and Global Change Research • Requirements for • sensing systems with appropriate characteristics for deriving fire products • Intermediate and derived fire products of known accuracy • Web based open access to data • Consistent Long Term Data records – fire history and policy effectiveness • Requirements evolving - user needs / observation capabilities • Rapid operational prototyping

  4. Summary Requirements: Active Fire/Fire Power • Integrated Multi-source Satellite acquisition with appropriate sensors for fire detection (SWIR, MIR, Thermal – geolocation, spectral and temporal registration) • 15 minute Geostationary • Global Geostationary Network • Daily Day/Night Polar Orbiting Moderate Resolution (500m-1km) • Targeted High Resolution (<30m) Imaging (24 hours) • e.g. Sensor Web • Derived Products (Validated) • NRT Active Fire - Location /Power/Detection Probability (mins to hours) • Daily, Monthly, Annual, Multiyear Active Fire Distributions • Web based fire location delivery (inc. email alert system)

  5. Summary Requirements: Burned Area • Multi-source Satellite Acquisition with sensor characteristics for burned area estimation (geolocation, band to band registration, visible, NIR, SWIR) • Daily Geostationary <1km • Daily Polar Orbiting Mod Resn (250m - 1km) • Targeted High Resn (30m) • E.g. sensor web technology – link to active fire detection • Derived Validated Products • NRT (24 - 72 Hrs) High (30m) and Moderate Resn (250 – 1km) Burned Area identification • Global 10 -16 day Moderate Resn Burned Area, Seasonal, Annual Summaries, Multiyear record • 30m Burned Area (Post fire assessment and Validation) – targeted fires

  6. Summary Requirements: Fire Emissions • Satellite Data • 15 min Geostationary (Active fire / Area Burned / Smoke) for NRT • Global Daily observations (Burned area products) for temporal summaries • In-situ Data (Sample) • Fuel Load for product validation • Emission Factors • Aerosol optical thickness (e.g. Aeronet) • Intermediate Product • Modeled Fuel Loads – seasonal / annual • Derived Products (Modeled) • NRT Trace Gas and Particulate Emissions • 10/16 Day – Monthly Emissions, Seasonal summaries, Multi annual emissions • Direct emission observation – aerosols, trace gases

  7. Summary Requirements: Fire Danger Status • Satellite Data with appropriate characteristics for monitoring vegetation state (geolocation, registration, vis, nir, swir, thermal) • Polar Orbiter 250-1km (vegetation state, moisture content) • In-situ Data • Weather • Fuel amount and condition (satellite and modeled) • Intermediate Products • Recent Weather (Assimilated) • Satellite Vegetation Moisture Content • Modeled Fuel amount (Allocated annual NPP) • Derived Products (Modeled) • 10/16 Day – Fire Danger Rating

  8. Importance of Product Validation • Importance of providing products of known accuracy (validated products) for both science and applications • Validated to Stage 2 prior to broad distribution - range of conditions for which the product is provided • GOFC/GOLD close partnership with CEOS Cal Val WG -Land Products Validation (LPV) • International coordination needed for Stage 3 Global Product Validation

  9. GOFC/GOLD-Fire Goals • Increase user awareness • develop an increased understanding of the utility of satellite fire products and their use for global change research, resource management and policy (UN, Regional, National, Local) • Establish a geostationary global fire network • providing operational high temporal resolution standard fire products of known accuracy • Secure operational polar orbiters with adequate fire monitoring capability • providing operational moderate resolution long-term global fire products to meet user requirements and serving a network of distributed ground stations • providing improved fire products (fuel moisture content/active fire/burned area/fire characterization) in a timely fashion • Providing operational high resolution acquisition allowing active fire, burned area, fire characterization and post-fire assessments

  10. GOFC/GOLD-Fire Goals (Cont’d) • Determine product accuracies • operational network offire validation sites and protocols established providing accuracy assessment for operational products and a test bed for new or enhanced products – leading to standard products of known accuracy • Develop a set of standard fire danger / susceptibility models • combining meteorological data, remote sensing, and ground based information • Develop fire emissions product suites • providing annual emission estimates of known accuracy with the associated input data • Establish enhanced user products and data access • Operational multi-source fire / GIS products, Web based data access, Improved national fire reporting, Fire characterization • Promote experimental fire observation systems and related research • in new areas focused on meeting current information gaps

  12. Rapid Operational Prototyping

  13. GLOBSCAR for GOFC http://www.geosuccess.net • ATSR-2 • Monthly for 2000 • 1km • Validated • Global algorithm regionally adjusted (NIR and TIR) • Quicklooks, ASCII and Vector data • Demonstration no follow-on

  14. The Global Burnt Area 2000 initiative (GBA-2000) Mapping, from SPOT-VEGETATION S1 imagery, of the areas burnt globally during 2000 Total global annual burned area estimated at  3.5 million km2 > 600,000 burn scars detected J-M. Grégoire & K. Tansey et al.

  15. SensorWeb Demonstration Scenario National Priority Wildfires 8-22-03 Natural Hazards investigators at UMD. UMD team transforms image into ERDAS format and FTP’s file to USFS/Salt Lake City where burn extent product is derived. Result is sent to BAER team at Robert Fire.
