Abstract
Investigations have shown that fires in boreal forests result in characteristic responses which are recorded on ERS-1 SAR imagery. Using one of the many fire signatures observed on ERS-1 SAR imagery, the analysis of the data revealed there is >10 dB in variation in image intensity within the burned areas on the SAR images. Possible explanations for this variation include increases in soil moisture, increased surface roughness exposed to the incoming microwave radiation, and damage to the vegetation canopy by the fire. >
