Sažetak
Meteosat second generation images can be successfully used for the detection and positioning of the forest and vegetation fire, due to very high sensitivity of the 3.9 micron channel to high temperatures.The main disadvantage is rather low spatial resolution, due to which the size of the fire cannot be precisely determined. In addition, the presence of the clouds above the fire can completely eliminate the effect of high temperature on the ground, making the hot spots invisible to the 3.9 micron channel. The advantage of the Meteosat data is high temporal resolution, which enables tracking of the changes with only 15 minutes interval between the images. The work shows practical application of the properties of the 3.9 micron channel for the detection of the fires on the Croatian Adriatic coast and the adjacent regions.
