Wildland Fire Danger Estimation And Mapping: The Role Of Remote Sensing Data
Author : Emilio Chuvieco
Publisher : World Scientific
Page : 280 pages
File Size : 18,43 MB
Release : 2003-09-29
Category : Technology & Engineering
ISBN : 981448525X
Book Description
The book presents a wide range of techniques for extracting information from satellite remote sensing images in forest fire danger assessment. It covers the main concepts involved in fire danger rating, and analyses the inputs derived from remotely sensed data for mapping fire danger at both the local and global scale. The questions addressed concern the estimation of fuel moisture content, the description of fuel structural properties, the estimation of meteorological danger indices, the analysis of human factors associated with fire ignition, and the integration of different risk factors in a geographic information system for fire danger management.

Weather Guide for the Canadian Forest Fire Danger Rating System
Author : B. D. Lawson
Publisher :
Page : 90 pages
File Size : 20,20 MB
Release : 2008
Category : Fire risk assessment
ISBN :
Book Description
This weather guide includes detailed specifications for locating and instrumenting fire weather stations, taking weather observations, and overwintering the Drought Code component of the FWI System. The sensitivity of the FWI System components to weather elements is represented quantitatively. The importance of weather that is not directly observable is discussed in the context of fuel moisture and fire behavior. Current developments in the observation and measurement of fire weather and the forecasting of fire danger are discussed, along with the implications for the reporting of fire weather of increasingly automated fire management information systems.
