Real-time Live Fuel Moisture Retrieval with MODIS Measurements
نویسندگان
چکیده
Live fuel moisture is one of the most important fuel properties and a critical parameter for fire danger rate forecasting and fire behavior analysis. Many approaches have been proposed to retrieve live fuel moisture with satellite remote sensing measurements. In this paper, we presented live fuel moisture retrieval with near real-time MODIS measurements, discussed the applications of real-time fuel moisture data products and the challenge problems in real-time fuel moisture retrieval.

متن کاملUse of Normalized Difference Water Index for Monitoring Live Fuel Moisture
Normalized Difference Vegetation Index (NDVI) and Normalized Difference Water Index (NDWI) were compared for monitoring live fuel moisture in a shrubland ecosystem. Both indices were calculated from 500 m spatial resolution Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) reflectance data covering a 33 month period from 2000 to 2002. Both NDVI and NDWI were positively correlated with live ...

Wildfire risk assessment has traditionally been carried out using models based on meteorological parameters measured at spatially sparse weather stations. Remote sensing techniques can offer a cost effective way of esimating the required parameters such as fuel moisture and fuel temperature in near-real time. Moreover remote sensing can provide wide area coverage and thus circumvent errors intr...
