Célia Gouveia (IPMA/University of Lisbon) - Using LSA-SAF vegetation data to assess fire-prone conditions and fire impacts on terrestrial ecosystems
Competency Framework
WMO Satellite Skills
Description
Célia Gouveia talks about LSA SAF vegetation data used for fire assessments and monitoring.
Content
Fire-prone conditions and the impact of wildfires on vegetation dynamics and productivity are analysed using the land surface temperature (LST) and evaporatranspiration (ET and ETREF) and their impacts on vegetation and products such as Fraction of Absorbed Photosynthetically Active Radiation (FAPAR), Fraction of Vegetation Cover (FVC) and Gross Primary Production (GPP) disseminated by LSA SAF.
