#Wildfire season is upon us, and its impact is felt year after year. Satellite imagery and analytics offer critical support in understanding and managing these events. The image provided showcases a before and after view of California's #MosquitoFire. Optical satellite imagery, as shown in the image, provides a clear view of landscapes before and after wildfires. The top-left quadrant shows a visual representation of the area before the fire, while the bottom-left quadrant displays the same area after the fire. This imagery helps in assessing immediate damage and planning response efforts. Before a wildfire, Land Cover Maps by Impact Observatory (top-right quadrant) are essential in identifying various vegetation types and understanding fuel loads. These maps help in risk assessment and resource allocation, allowing for better-preparedness measures. After a wildfire, infrared imaging (bottom-right quadrant) becomes vital in analyzing fire scars. This type of imaging detects burned areas and assesses burn severity by distinguishing between different levels of vegetation damage. Such information is crucial for post-fire recovery and rehabilitation efforts. #Analytics applied to these satellite images further enhance our understanding. Land cover analysis provides detailed information on vegetation types, aiding in the identification of high-risk areas. Fire scar analysis, particularly using infrared data, helps in monitoring the recovery of affected areas and evaluating the long-term impact on the ecosystem. By integrating optical satellite imagery and advanced analytics, we can improve our wildfire management strategies, ensuring better preparedness, response, and recovery.

Bird migration forecasts show predicted nocturnal migration 3 hours after local sunset and are updated every 6 hours. These forecasts come from models trained on the last 23 years of bird movements in the atmosphere as detected by the US NEXRAD weather surveillance radar network. https://lnkd.in/gXqcg77Y

🔥 Introducing the Geoneon Wildfire Data Stack 🔥 Our Wildfire Severity Index and Wildfire Exposure Index are both powered by the Geoneon Wildfire Data Stack—a framework that integrates multiple input layers to model wildfire severity and exposure. The stack includes: 🏘️ Buildings 🌿 Vegetation 🌦️ Climate 🗺️ Topography 🛰️ Imagery By combining these layers, we provide a prediction of wildfire severity and building exposure offering decision-makers the tools they need to plan, respond, and protect critical infrastructure, buildings, and communities. #Geoneon #WildfireRisk #ClimateTech #GeospatialAI #BushfirePreparedness

Really cool tropical interaction in the Eastern Pacific, two systems Fabio and Capri may interact in what is knows an the fujiwhara effect, satellite imagery... https://lnkd.in/gzSssd4u Read up on the effect... When two hurricanes spinning in the same direction pass close enough to each other, they begin an intense dance around their common center. If one hurricane is a lot stronger than the other, the smaller one will orbit it and eventually come crashing into its vortex to be absorbed. Two storms closer in strength can gravitate towards each other until they reach a common point and merge, or merely spin each other around for a while before shooting off on their own paths. In rare occasions, the effect is additive when the hurricanes come together, resulting in one larger storm instead of two smaller ones - NOAA https://lnkd.in/gXZKkaY3

ArcticDEM appreciation map 🙌 This August, Polar Geospatial Center released yet another batch of #ArcticDEM elevation models for the Arctic, which includes #Iceland. Having access to free DEMs at resolution of 2by2 meters is hugely beneficial for research agencies like Veðurstofa Íslands - Icelandic Meteorological Office. For us, ArcticDEM is the foundation for all surface modeling including large glacier outburst floods, avalanches, landslides and as an input orography for our weather forecasts. A true high value dataset! This animated map shows the number of DEMs (strips) available for Iceland that have been released up to this point. Huge thanks to PGC and National Science Foundation (NSF) for this initiative! #opendata #qgis #dem
