Fire Database

Fire Database

The occurrence of fire in vegetation is the theme of this portal, http://queimadas.dgi.inpe.br/queimadas, developed at INPE, the National Institute for Space Research. It includes the operational monitoring of fire spots and forest fires detected by satellites, and the calculation and prediction of the risk of fire in vegetation. Data for South and Central America, Africa and Europe are updated every three hours, every day of the year. Access to information is free, and in the internet browser used, the loading of "pop up" windows must be unblocked to access various figures, tables and graphs. Users who need foci with higher temporal frequency or monitoring in specific areas should consult the "Frequently Asked Questions" The information on this portal is divided into blocks: - "Current Situation", is the "Situation Room" of the Portal, and provides for the last two days the relevant results of the monitoring of vegetation fire spots made by INPE from satellite images. Several items in the titles of the figures and tables can be selected, changing the graphical presentations according to the user's spatial and temporal preferences. Hovering the mouse over the titles and figures will indicate the active options. - "SIG Focos-Geral", allows you to visualize the foci in a Geographic Information System, with options for periods, regions of interest, satellites, information plans (e.g. deforestation, hydrography, roads), etc., in addition to exporting the data in txt, html, shp and kmz formats. - "SIG Focos-Protected Areas", Similar to the previous item, but dedicated to the occurrence of fire in Protected Areas, such as Parks, Forests, Biological Reserves municipal, state and national, and Indigenous Lands. - "Situation in Protected Areas", which contains the latest report of foci detected in protected areas, including links that show them already inserted in the monitoring SIG. - "Current Report", contains the latest summary of fire monitoring in pdf format, which can be saved by the user for detailed data analysis. The option "Receive by E-Mail" leads to the user registration, where you define individually the content of the reports and alert messages that will be automatically received by E-Mail. - "Risk of Fire", which presents the estimated Risk of Fire in vegetation at present, and its future predictions (daily, weekly and monthly), as well as the "fogograma" for any location selected with the mouse on the maps. - "My Registration", where the user defines and configures individually the products that he wants to receive in his E-Mail, such as alerts of occurrence of foci in protected areas, daily pdf bulletins with tables, graphs and maps of states and countries of interest, and operational messages. - "Other Products", with links to additional products generated by this Fire and Fire System, highlighting: monthly maps of foci in .gif format with animations; Meteorological maps (precipitation, temperature, humidity, winds); detections of the various satellites used; estimates of concentrations and trajectories of pollutants emitted; location of satellites used, a collection of previous data and download area, and; access to an old version of the fire monitoring page. - "Related Links", with indications of access to the Ibama Bulletin of Monitoring of Fires and Fires, to the text published monthly in the Climanálise Bulletin, to a collection of over 500 pages with articles, photos, videos and various websites about fires and forest fires, to the composition of the team of this work, and to the acknowledgments. - "News and Highlights", with information, news and links highlighting the occurrence of fire in vegetation, and not restricted only to the detection of foci with satellites. - "Notice", with operational information indicating novelties, failures and relevant details in the generation of products from the monitoring of fire in vegetation. INPE also generates other fire products that are not disseminated on this portal, meeting the individual needs of users who choose to do their own processing of the raw data sent by INPE; an example of this is the case of PrevFogo/Ibama. To receive almost real-time the geographic coordinates of the foci and develop your own application base, contact queimadas@inpe.br.
