The ERS-2 ATSR-2 World Fire Atlas and the ERS-2 ATSR-2 World Burnt Surface Atlas projects
The 1997s Kyoto convention revealed to the general public that industrial and agriculture emissions of carbon dioxide, methane and other greenhouse gases threaten to change climate rapidly. Nigh time data from the ERS-2 ATSR-2 allows to monitor agricultural fires and wildfires at global scale. A glo...
