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

RedLaTIF presentation Red Latinoamericana de Teledetección Incendios Forestales RedLaTIF is the Latin-American regional network of the GOFC/GOLD-Fire (Global Observations of Forest and Land Cover Dynamics) program Initially focused on fire issues (open to other topics)
RedLaTIF presentation tema 2 - administración de proyectos GOALS Compile a list of Latinamerican experts working on remote sensing and forest fires Foster the participation of Latinamerican scientist in global networks related to the GOFC/GOLD-Fire program Generate thematic networks for participation in fire-related projects within the Latinamerican region enrique barreiro alonso universidade de vigo - departamento de informática escuela superior de ingeniería informática ingeniería del software de gestión 20 / 47

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
SERENA presentation Reception Centers Principal reception centers (MODIS) Serena Member groups RedLaTIF participants
SERENA presentation Fire Danger Maps - INTA Experiences NDVI Based: Fire danger Index
SERENA presentation Fire Danger Maps - INPE Experiences Meteorological Stations Minimum relative humidity Satellite Information Estimated convective precipitation Via GOESS Maximum Temperature
SERENA presentation Fire Danger Maps - INPE Experiences
Conclusions Product of FDR for Latin America Uniform Accurate In real time Need for combining information from satellite remote sensing to the products of FDR Need for a local validation
