Fire Detection Support

fire

麻豆传媒 provides fire detection support to the Atmospheric Science and Technology Applications team with NOAA鈥檚 National Environmental Satellite, Data, and Information Services. 麻豆传媒 Surface Characteristics Scientist serves on the Fire Emissions and Fire Detection teams, providing data manipulation, algorithm development, and performance evaluation for the system. This ensures fast and reliable satellite data to stakeholders, as well as researchers in the long-term. The 麻豆传媒 surface characteristics scientist will transition to Visible Infrared Imaging Radiometer Suite (VIIRS)-Based Next Generation Fire System data retrieval and validation for the U.S. Department of the Interior federal land fire cases. This system is an experimental satellite-based fire detection algorithm developed by the University of Wisconsin. It uses multi-band imaging capabilities to obtain high-resolution atmospheric imagery and generate a variety of applied products, one of which includes visible and infrared imaging for detecting fires, smoke, and atmospheric aerosols. 麻豆传媒 will be working on location accuracy of fire detection for the Next Generation Fire System.
