基本説明
Contents: The Concept fo Fire Danger, Different Terminology; Factors Affecting Fire Ignition and Fire Propagation; Fuel Loads and Fuel Types; The Human Factor in Fire Danger Assessment; and more.
Full Description
The book presents a wide range of techniques for extracting information from satellite remote sensing images in forest fire danger assessment. It covers the main concepts involved in fire danger rating, and analyses the inputs derived from remotely sensed data for mapping fire danger at both the local and global scale. The questions addressed concern the estimation of fuel moisture content, the description of fuel structural properties, the estimation of meteorological danger indices, the analysis of human factors associated with fire ignition, and the integration of different risk factors in a geographic information system for fire danger management.
