Fires Fires (hot spots) can be detected in the following MSG SEVIRI channels (in order of importance): 1. IR3.9 but also in: 2. IR8.7 3. IR9.7, IR10.8, IR12.0 and sometimes NIR1.6 !!!
Smoke Smoke from fires can principally be detected in all VIS and IR window channels, but the best channels are (in order of importance): 1. HRVIS 2. VIS0.6 and NIR1.6 3. IR3.9 The VIS0.8 channel is not useful for smoke detection !
Burned Area The (black) burned area can be best detected in the following MSG SEVIRI channels (in order of importance): 1. VIS0.8 2. HRVIS 3. VIS0.6 and NIR1.6
