| Fire Id, Mapping and Monitoring Algorithm (FIMMA) | The FIMMA is an automated algorithm to detect fires from Advanced Very High Resolution Radiometer (AVHRR) data from NOAA polar-orbiting satellites. The FIMMA product was developed by CIRA by modifying an algorithm developed at the University of Maryland. The current version uses geo-corrected High Resolution Picture Transmission (HRPT) AVHRR data over the US (including Alaska and Hawaii). Product Link |

| GOES Aerosol Smoke Products (GASP) | Product provides aerosol optical depth (AOD) using GOES visible channel imagery and utilizes a cloud screening algorithm. A look-up table is used to estimate the AOD using the difference in reflectance between current cloud free pixels and those of a 28 day clear sky composite image. Over the GASP-East domain, the automated smoke detection and tracking algorithm (ASDTA) uses a source apportionment technique to derive AOD associated with fires.

| GOES Biomass Burning Emissions Product (GBBEP) |
The GOES-E/W Biomass Burning Emission Product (GBBEP) algorithm calculates emissions (PM2.5, CO, CH4, CO2, TNMHC, NH3, N2O, NOX, and SO2) released from biomass burning fire detections and uses the GOES WF_ABBA (Wildfire Automated Biomass Burning Algorithm) fire product as input. The WF_ABBA detects instantaneous fires in sub-pixels using 3.9 µm and 10.7 µm infrared bands by assuming that the thermal radiance in a 4 km pixel is a linear mixture of radiance from a fire target and background. The GBBEP uses GOES-11/12 WF_ABBA sub-pixel fire sizes to generate diurnal patterns taken as the proxy of burned areas for every hour of the previous day. Product Links: GBBEP-East and GBBEP-West |

| Hazard Mapping System (HMS) Fire and Smoke Analysis | Product shows the detected hot spots and smoke plumes indicating possible fire locations. This is a blended product using algorithms for the GOES Imager, the POES AVHRR and MODIS. A quality control procedure is performed by an analyst on the automated fire detections. Significant smoke plumes that are detected by the satellites are outlined by the analyst as well with an estimate of the smoke concentration provided. This product is created and updated as needed between 1 PM and 11 PM Eastern time. After 11 PM the analysis is fine-tuned as time permits. The graphical HMS product is finalized once daily.

| Fire Risk | Product shows the area, intensity, and duration of vegetation stress using AVHRR data. Fire potential and danger can be estimated from color coded maps. Fire potential is based on intensity and duration of moisture and thermal stress. If severe stress (index less than 15) continues for one week fire potential is minimal, while it reaches maximum if this condition continues for five weeks and longer. Fire potential is higher for severe and longer stress. A high level of fire potential (red) due to both moisture and temperature conditions can be used as a fire danger warning. Product Link |

| Fire/Smoke/Hot Spot Imagery | Satellite Imagery showing Hot Spots indicating the presence of fire, and visible imagery depicting smoke. Various enhancements are used on both GOES and POES Satellite Imagery to increase visibility. Extreme historical cases may be showcased on the Operational Special Event Imagery (OSEI) web site. New Special Event Imagery is being created by the NOAA Environmental Visualization Laboratory (EVL). Three GOES sectors have been established to provide real time imagery and a page of up to eight floaters has recently been added (Four GOES-East and Four Goes-West).
