SUMMARY Version 1. 0, 30 November 2004 Slide: 33

Fires (hot spots) can be detected in the following MSG SEVIRI channels (in order of importance): 1. IR 3. 9 but also in: 2. 3. IR 8. 7 IR 9. 7, IR 10. 8, IR 12. 0 and sometimes NIR 1. 6 !!! Version 1. 0, 30 November 2004 Slide: 34

Smoke from fires can principally be detected in all VIS and IR window channels, but the best channels are (in order of importance): 1. 2. 3. HRVIS 0. 6 and NIR 1. 6 IR 3. 9 The VIS 0. 8 channel is not useful for smoke detection ! Version 1. 0, 30 November 2004 Slide: 35

Burned Area The (black) burned area can be best detected in the following MSG SEVIRI channels (in order of importance): 1. 2. 3. VIS 0. 8 HRVIS 0. 6 and NIR 1. 6 Version 1. 0, 30 November 2004 Slide: 36
