  2. Current Status of Fire Monitoring in Brazil • INPE is currently running fire detection for AVHRR (NOAA-12; NOAA-16), MODIS (Terra; Aqua), GOES-12 • IBAMA runs GOES-12 and DMSP fire products • On going agreement towards “the more the better” as many real cases suggest that • Integration of different data sets using GIS tools

  3. Geostationary Data Use in Brazil • IBAMA is running CIRA’s RAMSDIS system since July 2000 • fire monitoring nearly 100% based on visual analysis of imagery (reflectivity product: ch2,ch4) • fire data from automatic processing still of limited use • CPTEC/INPE is running own algorithm since August 2002 • fire monitoring mostly based on data from automatic processing • limited visual analyses of imagery (except during algorithm tune up)

  4. IBAMA’s GOES Fire Detection Algorithm July 2000 – Implementation of CIRA’s RAMSDIS system based on GOES-8 data & McIDAS OS/2 Warp Cloud Masking Tb4 >= 2ºC Night: Tb2 > 17ºC Potential Fires Day: Tb2 > 41ºC Day: (Bi -Bx)/Bx >=0.25) Night: (Bi -Bx)/Bx >=0.10) 6 out of 8 Statistics Sunglint Model (SoZA-SaZA >15o) +/- 5o lat For visualization only Persistence

  5. April 2003: Transition to Win2000 – GOES-12

  6. Pros • Great results from visual image interpretation (reflectivity product) • Major fire events are 100% detectable • System provides fast response in many different cases Northern Sectors Southern Sector

  19. Conclusions • Image usefulness for visual identification of fires is outstanding and proves to be essential to any operational fire monitoring system • Overall performance of automatic detection is still questionable • Balancing “conservative” x “liberal” algorithms/thresholds would be desirable – is it attainable? • Field validation should be reinforced and aimed by different groups – let’s optimize efforts and resources • If we are to consider realistic numbers of active fires being detected, we must continue (and improve) use of geostationary imagery integrating their fire products to other systems (polar orbiting)
