Wildfire Knowledge Graph · Remote Sensing & Mapping
Working definition
The time at which a polar-orbiting satellite passes over a location and can acquire an observation under suitable viewing conditions.
In plain language
The time at which a polar-orbiting satellite passes over a location and can acquire an observation under suitable viewing conditions.
Why it matters
Satellite Overpass is useful because it separates one specific part of wildfire behaviour, exposure, operations or evidence from nearby concepts that can otherwise be mixed together.
