2 General Outline Fires in Argentina Fire Research at INTA Presenation of RedLaTIF network Presenation of SERENA network

3 Fires in Argentina In Argentina we have great variability in climates and vegetation types. (clk) From North to south, fire occurrence is strongly Influenced by climatic conditions and human activities, (clk) principally agricultural expansion. Mean annual fire (clk) distributions are principally concentrated at mid-north latitudes Argentina: km 2

4 Fires in Argentina In Argentina we have great variability in climates and vegetation types.

24 SERENA presentation What is Serena? SERENA is the Latin-American network of study and monitoring of natural resources. 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

25 SERENA presentation Reception Centers Principal reception centers (MODIS) Serena Member groups RedLaTIF participants

26 SERENA presentation Fire Danger Maps - INTA Experiences NDVI Based: Fire danger Index

27 SERENA presentation Fire Danger Maps - INPE Experiences Meteorological Stations Minimum relative humidity Satellite Information Estimated convective precipitation Via GOESS Maximum Temperature
