Abstract

A campaign of manmade fire experiment was conducted in October, 2005, at Wuming airport in Guangxi Province. Simultaneous measurements of satellites on fires with areas of 100 and 200 square meters show that all medium wave channels have obvious temperature increment and fires can be identified from EOS-TERRA,EOS-AQUA and FY-1D images with 1km resolution. Spectral characteristics of fire were measured with BOMEM MR-154 FT-spectrometer. Spectrum analysis and atmospheric radiative transfer simulation shows that 4.34~4.76 μm channel is more sensitive than 3.5~4.0 μm channel for fire monitoring.
