Sentinel: Dynamic Fire Location Mapping
Near- Real Time Emergency Mapping ‘Sentinel’ Satellite Mapping of Fire Hotspots Environmental Remote Sensing Group CSIRO Land and Water Defence Imagery & Geospatial Organisation
Collaborators • FundingDefence Imagery and Geospatial Organisation (DIGO) • ImageryGeoscience Australia (GA) • ImplementationCSIRO • Using NASA and University of Maryland algorithms • Based on GeoMAC fire site hosted by the USGS.
DIGO’s needs • Support Defence personneldeployed in civil emergencies • Continental solution • Identified MODIS data as a possible solution
Key Requirements • All Australia Hotspot Mapping by December 2002 • Satellite to Website in One hour. • MODIS sensor selected • for it’s dynamic range • it’s revisit frequency • Terra and Aqua platforms
Key Requirements • Background imagery • for context • underneath the ‘hotspots’ • by 6 am AEST (18:00 UTC). • Maps with fire locations delivered as • electronic graphic images (web map interface) • faxable B/W map products • email data distribution.

Terra Satellite Launched December 18,1999 MODIS MOPITT ASTER MISR CERES
MODerate-resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) • NASA, Terra & Aqua • launches 1999, 2002 • 705 km polar orbits, descending (10:30 a.m.) & ascending (1:30 p.m.) • Sensor Characteristics • 36 spectral bands ranging from 0.41 to 14.385 µm • cross-track scan mirror with 2330 km swath width • Spatial resolutions: 250 m (bands 1 - 2) 500 m (bands 3 - 7) 1000 m (bands 8 – 36) • 2% reflectance calibration accuracy • onboard solar diffuser & solar diffuser stability monitor http://modis.gsfc.nasa.gov/

Web Maps are Dynamic. • Fire Locations are displayed in relation to other Geographic data • Maps are rendered and displayed on according to user interaction • Contextual layers can be added or removed. • Maps can be panned and zoomed. • Maps Layers are scale sensitive providing more information atlarge scaleswithout clutteringthe display at small scales.
