History: • SERENA was created as part of the RedlaTIF network, and it is totally founded by the CYTED program, with more than 13 Latin-American participant countries. Principal goals: • Design and development of a continental processing system, using remote sensing and ancillary information, for: • Fire detection • Burned area quantification • Fire risk estimation • Local validation © Carlos Di Bella Instituto de Clima y Agua (INTA) SERENA presentation Reception Centers Principal reception centers (MODIS) Serena Member groups RedLaTIF participants © Carlos Di Bella Instituto de Clima y Agua (INTA) SERENA presentation Fire Danger Maps - INTA Experiences NDVI Based: Fire danger Index © Carlos Di Bella Instituto de Clima y Agua (INTA) SERENA presentation Fire Danger Maps - INPE Experiences Meteorological Stations Minimum relative humidity Maximum Temperature © Carlos Di Bella Instituto de Clima y Agua (INTA) Satellite Information Estimated convective precipitation Via GOESS SERENA presentation Fire Danger Maps - INPE Experiences © Carlos Di Bella Instituto de Clima y Agua (INTA) Conclusions Product of FDR for Latin America ¾ Uniform ¾ Accurate ¾ In real time Need for combining information from satellite remote sensing to the products of FDR Need for a local validation © Carlos Di Bella Instituto de Clima y Agua (INTA) Thank you Very Much! © Carlos Di Bella Instituto de Clima y Agua (INTA)
