Upcoming and prospective fire monitoring missions based on the heritage of the BIRD (bi-spectral infrared detection) satellite

Gernot Ruecker, Eckehard Lorenz, Anja A. Hoffmann, Dieter Oertel, more

2012 IEEE International Geoscience and Remote Sensing Symposium > 225 - 228

IGARSS 2012 - 2012 IEEE International Geoscience and Remote Sensing Symposium

Observation of active fires enables the estimation of trace gas and aerosol emissions, and can support fire management, air pollution monitoring and forecasting, and reporting efforts under international conventions. Here we present a mission concept for a dedicated Fire Monitoring Constellation (FMC) of small satellites based on experience from the BIRD mission (2001 – 2004), as well as the upcoming...

Thermal characteristics of coal fires 2: Results of measurements on simulated coal fires

Jianzhong Zhang, Claudia Kuenzer, Anke Tetzlaff, Dieter Oertel, more

Journal of Applied Geophysics > 2007 > 63 > 3-4 > 135-147

In this paper we present thermal characteristics of coal fires as measured during simulated fires under an experimental setting in Germany in July 2002. It is thus a continuation of the previously published paper “Thermal surface characteristics of coal fire 1: Results of in-situ measurement”, in which we presented temperature measurements of real subsurface coal fires in China [Zhang, J., Kuenzer,...

A short mission of Earth observation

Oscar Moreno, Dieter Oertel, Boris Zhukov, Michael Conradt, more

Aerospace Science and Technology > 2006 > 10 > 2 > 144-148

A great number of forest fires take place regularly around the planet. Some of them are systematically observed by sensors on board various space platforms. Like so many countries around the world, Colombia is no stranger to these phenomena. On a local and regional level fires cause environmental catastrophes on a variety of scales, destroying the vegetation, the biodiversity and causing damage to...

Detection and analysis of high-temperature events in the BIRD mission

Boris Zhukov, Klaus Briess, Eckehard Lorenz, Dieter Oertel, more

Acta Astronautica > 2005 > 56 > 1-2 > 65-71

The primary mission objective of a new small Bi-spectral InfraRed Detection (BIRD) satellite is detection and quantitative analysis of high-temperature events like fires and volcanoes. An absence of saturation in the BIRD infrared channels makes it possible to improve false alarm rejection as well as to retrieve quantitative characteristics of hot targets, including their effective fire temperature,...

EKOSAT-IR-Ecology-related earth observation and hot spot detection

Hendrik Lübberstedt, Boris Penné, Rainer Sandau, Dieter Oertel

Acta Astronautica > 2005 > 56 > 1-2 > 81-88

The initial EKOSAT (ELOP-KARI-OHB-Satellite) mission, planned to be launched as in-orbit demonstrator of the Multi-Spectral Remote-sensing System (MSRS), is enhanced by the space-proven Hot-Spot-Recognition System (HSRS) from DLR. HSRS is currently demonstrating its advanced High-Temperature Event detection and analysis capabilities on the German Bi-spectral InfraRed Detection (BIRD) satellite. MSRS,...

Integrating satellite remote sensing techniques for detection and analysis of uncontrolled coal seam fires in North China

Stefan Voigt, Anke Tetzlaff, Jianzhong Zhang, Claudia Künzer, more

International Journal of Coal Geology > 2004 > 59 > 1-2 > 121-136

China is the biggest producer of coal in the world and mines about 1000 Mt of raw coal per year. Approximately 70% of China's energy consumption is covered by coal. At the same time, it is estimated that about 20 Mt of coal are being burnt in uncontrolled coal fires in China each year. Because these coal fires are spread out over the whole northern part of the country, stretching from Xinjiang province...
