Title: Satellite Observations of Forest Fires JPEG
Url: https://fermi.jhuapl.edu/avhrr/gallery/fire/fire.html
Creator: Sterner, Ray.
Publisher: Johns Hopkins University. Applied Physics Laboratory. Ocean Remote Sensing Group
Description: The Ocean Remote Sensing Group of the Johns Hopkins University Applied Physics Laboratory has made available a series of maps of some of the fifteen major wildfires that were burning Wednesday across 264,794 acres in six Western states--Oregon, California, Idaho, Wyoming, Utah, and Colorado. The images are not intended as a working fire detection resource, but are offered as interesting observations. Background information is provided, and the subject matter of each image is briefly described. The files are in GIF format and range in size from 200 to 500K. The publicly available data used is from the NOAA polar orbiter AVHRR sensor, which scans the earth beneath six times per second. Links are provided to the Wildland Fire Assessment System of the USDA and Go West forest fire reports, which offers a list of links for each state with major fires.
