Wildfire Knowledge Graph · Remote Sensing & Mapping
Working definition
A satellite- or sensor-derived observation indicating thermal conditions consistent with active combustion or a significant heat anomaly.
In plain language
A satellite- or sensor-derived observation indicating thermal conditions consistent with active combustion or a significant heat anomaly.
Why it matters
Active Fire Detection is useful because it separates one specific part of wildfire behaviour, exposure, operations or evidence from nearby concepts that can otherwise be mixed together.
