The Fire Monitoring, Mapping and Modeling System (Fire M3) is an initiative of the Canada Centre for Remote Sensing and the Canadian Forest Service. The goals of Fire M3 are to use low-resolution satellite imagery to identify and locate actively burning fires on a daily basis; to estimate annual area burned; and to model fire behavior, biomass consumption, and carbon emissions from fires. 1, record 3, English, - Fire%20Monitoring%2C%20Mapping%20and%20Modeling%20System

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 3, French, - Syst%C3%A8me%20de%20surveillance%2C%20cartographie%20et%20mod%C3%A9lisation%20des%20incendies%20de%20for%C3%AAts
