Abstract
Two Russian researchers outline a method whereby imagery from NOAA-series satellites is used to augment data derived from Russia's network of meteorological stations during extreme fire hazard situations. The focus more specifically is on developing a medium-range forecast of the fire hazard on the basis of repeated imaging and medium-range (10-day, 3-day) weather forecasts, for the purpose of compiling forecast maps of fire danger to support fire detection, prevention, firefighting measures, as well as the timely deployment of personnel and equipment. Translated by Edward Torrey, Alexandria, Virginia, from: Geografiya i prirodnyye resursy, 2002, No. 4, pp. 112-117.
