The six large wildfires in this study ranged in size from 14 000 to 700 000 ha. The soils in these regions are mostly classified as Typic Mesisols (32 sites), Orthic Gleysols (16 sites), or Orthic Grey Luvisols (8 sites) (Soil Landscapes of Canada map v.3.2). The sampled...
The map of managed lands74was accessed through personal communication with M. Hafer and A. Dyk (the map was only created for cartographic communication purposes). The extent of land considered managed forest in Canada for the purposes of GHG reporting to the United Nations Framework Convention on...
Finally, the ability to view your own data and how you respond to various pollution threats facilitates comparison with map and newsfeed aggregated data of nearby users and the broader population of users (Fig. 1). Such comparisons can also be explicitly tied to user data as an example of ...
The field plots were located in burned maritime pine ecosystems within the fire perimeter using as refer- ence the Spanish Forest Map and ensuring a minimum distance of 500 m from the fire perimeter. We used a GPS receiver in real time kinematics mode (RMSEX,Y < 3 cm) to locate...
in preference to the Stratospheric Sounding Unit (SSU) as the minimum altitude of detection for the SSU channel 1 is around 25–35 km (pressures less than 20 hPa) which is above the altitude of the maximum temperature perturbation derived from the model. To enable a fair comparison, the ...
(D) The smoke plume from Carr Fire on August 9th, 2018 drifting down across the location of Castle Lake. Castle Lake on the 3rd of July 2018 without smoke (E), and on the 9th of August 2018 with smoke (F). Area burned polygons where obtained from MTBS73. Map was generated in ...
Canada’s boreal forests have been frequently affected by wildfires, and good quality burned area perimeters have been derived based on Landsat data at 30 m spatial resolution, which can be taken as a reference for various data sources in wildfire-burned area mapping, such as multispectral ...
burn severity owing to the heterogeneity of the physiognomy and forest community species. In the present study, severity was assessed using a remote-sensing bi-temporal approach, and the validation and accuracy of the resultant burn-severity estimation map are illustrated in Saulino et al. [24]....
To map fire events, we used the geospatial fire database created in the Sukachev Institute of Forest, SB RAS. This database uses satellite fire detections obtained from the NOAA/AVHRR, TERRA/AQUA/MODIS, and SNPP/NOAA-20/VIIRS platforms. This database has been maintained since 1996. Fire ra...
We sought to solve the following problems: – to identify peat fires by superimposing data on wildfires derived from Terra/Aqua MODIS hotspots onto a map of the peatlands; – to examine the applicability of known specific (i.e., detecting burnt areas) and non-specific spectral indices in ...
