Abstract:

The efficiency of space monitoring of forest fires on the territory of Tomsk Region in the period of 1998-2000 is analyzed. Analysis is based on comparison of satellite information with data of Tomsk Forest Protection Air Base collected in the region during three fire-risky seasons. The dependence of the probability of forest fire detection from the AVHRR/NOAA data on the parameters of fires and observational conditions is examined.
