Le Système de surveillance, cartographie et modélisation des incendies de forêts (Fire M3) est un projet conjoint du Centre canadien de télédétection et du Service canadien des forêts. Les buts du «Fire M3» sont d'utiliser l'imagerie satellite à faible résolution afin d'identifier et de localiser les feux en pleine activité sur une base quotidienne, d'estimer les secteurs brûlés sur une base annuelle et de modéliser le comportement du feu, la combustion de la biomasse et les émissions de carbone des incendies. 1, record 2, French, - Syst%C3%A8me%20de%20surveillance%2C%20cartographie%20et%20mod%C3%A9lisation%20des%20incendies%20de%20for%C3%AAts
