GLOBAL BURNED AREA MAPPING FROM MERIS IMAGES IN THE CONTEXT OF THE ESA FIRE_CCI PROJECT

摘要

The fire_cci project, in the framework of the ESA'srnClimate Change Initiative, aims at providing consistentrntime series of burned areas (BA) globally, over thernperiod 1995 to 2009. Global BA products will bernobtained by combining information from three sensors:rnthe ATSR series, VEGETATION and MERIS. Withinrnthe project, BA algorithms have been developed andrntailored to exploit the different sensor characteristics.rnResults from the MERIS BA algorithm will bernpresented, together with time series from years 2005 torn2009. The continuity of fire_cci BA products at globalrnscale and in an operational manner will be ensured withrnOLCI and SLSTR, on board Sentinel 3.
