2 Background NASA Decision Support NASA-STI-USFS Partnership SMARTFIRE * – Fire Information BlueSky Framework – Fuels, Consumption, and Emissions EPA Work Assignment Emission Inventory for Wildland Fires * Satellite Mapping Automatic Reanalysis Tool for Fire Incident Reconciliation

3 Emission Inventory Processing Scope  Contiguous United States  August 2002 through 2006  Wildfires, Wildfire Use, prescribed burning  Agricultural burning excluded BlueSky Pathway  Fire information: SMARTFIRE  Fuel loading: FCCS (Fuel Characteristic Classification System)  Fuel consumption: Consume 3.0  Emissions: FEPS (Fire Emission Production Simulator)

10 Effect of Different Fire Information Sources y = 104x R 2 = Pixel Count Acres Burned (Thousands) ICS-209s only  This was BlueSky’s previous data feed.  ICS-209s report cumulative area burned.  We subtracted the previous day’s area from today’s to get the daily area burned MODIS Terra and Aqua only  This is the most commonly used satellite-derived fire data set  We developed acres burned per pixel relationship by examining 30 wildfires  Used 100 acres per pixel

11 SMARTFIRE vs. MODIS vs. ICS-209 Area Burned

12 Differences Between MODIS and HMS Because HMS includes GOES and AVHRR derived fire pixels in addition to MODIS, it detects more fires overall. This is especially true in the southeast, where fires are often small and/or short lived. In addition to the increased coverage, HMS provides human quality control.

19 Future Work Continued validation and improvement of fire size parameters Further exploration of high consumption rate when using MODIS Differences with high resolution fuel loading data (LANDFIRE) –30-m spatial resolution is finer scale than the satellite fire information –Will use helicopter-flown perimeters or high resolution satellite burn scars to determine area burned Smoke and Emissions Model Intercomparison Project (SEMIP)
