The Power Grid/Wildfire Nexus: Using GIS and Satellite Remote Sensing to Identify Vulnerabilities

چکیده
The effects of wildfire on the power grid are a recurring concern for utility companies who need reliable information about where to prioritize infrastructure hardening. Though there existing data layers that provide measures burn probability, these models predominately consider long-term climate variables, which not helpful when analyzing current season trends. Utility temporally and locally relevant. To determine primary drivers probability relative vulnerability, this study assessed potential both readily accessible regularly updated. Two areas in Idaho, USA with contrasting probabilities were compared. Wildfire obtained differentiated between across 2018–2021 growing seasons. This determined mean wind speed, cumulative precipitation, Normalized Difference Vegetation Index (NDVI) an area interest may be indicators relevant scale. assessment demonstrates method variables utilized by municipal electric utilities, cooperatives, other utilities harden within wildfire-prone areas.

SUMMARY Here we report a method for estimating ecosystem respiration (R e) by exclusive use of remotely sensed land surface temperature (T r) from NASA's moderate resolution imaging spectroradiometer (MODIS) sensors. A combination of daytime and nighttime MODIS T r data was used to model an 8-day mean value of land surface temperature (T r(mean)), which was then used in a modified Arrhenius-bas...
