Sentinel Asia Wildfire Monitoring Masami FUKUDA Institute of Low Temp. Sci. Hokkaido Univ. 3rd Sentinel Asia JPT Meeting 13 March 2007, Singapore
Objective of Sentinel Asia Wildfire Monitoring Contribution to the Asia-Pacific region for Wildfire Management and Control based on requirements Contribution to Global Environment: Prevention of global warming Impact to future global warming Carbon Cycle: Sink Source Contribution to Kyoto Protocol Sustainable Forest Management
Requirements for Sentinel Asia Wildfire Monitoring Requirements from Asian countries: Wildfire is one of the major and chronic phenomenon affecting many Countries in South-East Asia. Requrements from Hotspot Users (Fire Control Agency): Current hotspot information using MODIS data on various Web Sites cannot be used for its unreliability. Actual Needs: To protect protected-area from Wildfire Mitigate damage caused by smoke
Requirements for Disaster Monitoring JAXA investigated requirements for disaster monitoring using satellite data in 2002 Thailand Flood, Wildfire, Drought, Typhoon, Landslide Indonesia Wildfire, Flood, Oil spill, Marine peril Philippine Typhoon, Flood, Drought, Volcanic eruption, Earthquake Malaysia Wildfire, Water pollution Vietnam Wildfire, Typhoon, Landslide, Drought, Flood
History Feb. 2006: Sentinel Asia has been initiated including Wildfire Monitoring in its activities June 2006: Wildfire Working Group (WG) has been organized Leader : Prof. M. Fukuda of Hokkaido Univ. 1st WG meeting was held in Bangkok Sept. 2006: 2nd WG meeting (Provider Group) at Pekayon in Indonesia Oct. 2006: Validation Campain in Indonesia Jan. 2007: 3rd WG meeting (Provider Group+ User Group) in GEOSS Symposium in Tokyo
Necessary Activities VS Requirements Requirement from Asian countries: Wildfire is one of the major and chronic phenomenon affecting many Countries in South-East Asia. Requrements from Hotspot Users (Fire Control Agency): Current hotspot information using MODIS data on various Web Sites cannot be used because of its unreliability. To provide validated & reliable Hotspot information Validation Campain & Improvement of Hotspot Detection Argorithm Actual Needs: To protect protected-area from Wildfire To provide Fire Danger Warning & To provide value-added Hotspot information to show critical Wildfire for Fire Control Agencies To mitigate damage caused by smoke To provide Smoke Forecasting
