Environmental remote sensing: microwaves and data-model fusion for vegetation, fires, water, carbon cycle, Prof @TUD Dresden University of Technology
Work was co-funded by @fireurisk.eu + @interreg.eu #WildfireCE + @daadworldwide.bsky.social to transfer knowledge, data and models about fuels and fires from 🇦🇺 to 🇩🇪
Data is available here: zenodo.org/records/1273...
Measurements are ongoing: www.emsbrno.cz/p.axd/en/Spr...

Sensitivity of fire weather indices, fuel sticks and satellite observations to fuel moisture content in Central European forests - Data
This data repository contains datasets for destructively measured fuels of different types (FMC_insitu), meteorological data including 10-hour fuel stick measurements (FWS_30min) and calculated fire w...

... we found:
• A litter fuel moisture model from 🇦🇺 for Eucalyptus also works well for beech and spruce forests.
• Fire Weather Index from EFFIS and German WBI underestimate fire danger in bark beetled forest stands.
• Soil moisture and Sentinel-1 backscatter are no good predictors for dead-FMC.

Smouldering woody debris fuels air pollution over the Amazon
A groundbreaking study, funded by ESA, reveals that fire emissions in the Amazon and Cerrado are largely driven by the smouldering combustion of woody debris. This crucial discovery highlights the sig...
